One of the most beloved athletes in Australian sports, Ash Brazill, AFLW and Netball champion, is visiting us all the way from Perth WA to be part of the 2025 games!
Brazill could play any of the midcourt positions during her time at the highest level with the Diamonds. During Ash’s career she bounced back strong after suffering a serious knee injury sustained while playing in the AFLW in 2020 and finished her career with strong outings for the Diamonds at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and 2023 Netball World Cup.
Ash will be making several appearances at various events throughout the games weekend, including the opening ceremony and a special netball clinic run by Cairns Netball Association. Find out more about the clinics here.
