19U Season 2026
After a rewarding 2025 season, this dedicated group is grateful for the chance to take on 2026 together. The team understands the challenge of a possible back-to-back premiership and is committed to working hard, staying grounded, and giving their best each week.
We also appreciate the continued support of HIIT Launceston. Their commitment to our strength and conditioning has been an important part of our preparation for the year ahead
This season’s lineup brings together a focused and united group who play with genuine Hawks pride. Our core premiership athletes return, while the Sherriff twins and Olivia Bender step up to the Opens. We’re fortunate to welcome five new players: Grace King and Mali Johnston join Zoe O’Connor in the shooting circle; Alexandra Pietsch and Grace Matthews add depth through the centre court with the experience of Harriet Humphreys; and Bronte Howe strengthens the defensive end alongside Jenna Otley, Charlotte Conway and Gemma Hodgetts.
The adaptability and determination within this group give the Hawks balance, resilience, and plenty to look forward to in 2026. The team’s aim is simple: make the most of every opportunity, support one another, and enjoy the journey ahead.
