2021 FINISH: 6TH (9-5)

With few changes to its squad from last year Katamatite will be looking to have a more consistent season in 2022.

Tesslyn Saunders will again be in the hot seat as coach and will lead a team full of young stars.

Saunders was pretty clear when it came to goals for the season, with consistency key.

“Just to have a more consistent season, we started off last year really well and then sort of, with all the disruptions because of COVID, we sort of dropped off a bit and then started to pick up, so just have a more consistent season,” Saunders said.

Saunders flagged young talent and reigning league rising star award winner Sophie Bray as one to watch this year, along with Cassia Colbeck and Ria Still.

With young stars and few changes, it is shaping up to be a solid year at Tigerland.
