Star shooter Sophie Garbin will make her Commonwealth Games debut in Glasgow as one of two West Australians selected in the Diamonds squad, unveiled on Wednesday.

The Melbourne Vixens star is joined by Courtney Bruce, who is one of seven returning players from Australia’s gold medal-winning side from Birmingham in 2022.

Garbin will be joined in the 12-player team by Sophie Dwyer, Matilda Garrett, Georgie Horjus and Jamie-Lee Price, who will also make their Commonwealth Games debut.

Captain Liz Watson will lead the side again, while Kiera Austin, Sarah Klau, Cara Koenen, Kate Moloney, Jamie-Lee Price and Jo Western also retained their spots.

“This is an incredibly exciting group with a great mix of youth and experience,” Watson said.

“We know what it takes to perform on the world stage, and we’re committed to doing the work required to give ourselves every chance in Glasgow.

“There’s a lot of excitement around this group, but also a real determination to defend the gold medal we won in Birmingham. We know the challenge ahead, and we’re ready to embrace it together.”

With the devastating ACL injury to star defender Sunday Aryang, West Coast Fever will be without a representative.

Jessie Grenvold, Amy Parmenter and Donnell Wallam will be the reserves. They will be with the team in Melbourne for a pre-Games training camp, but not head to Scotland and stay in Australian on standby instead.

Since netball became a Commonwealth Games sport in 1998, Australia have won four of the seven gold medals. They are the only country to feature in every gold medal match.
