The Queensland Firebirds are set to boast one of Suncorp Super Netball’s most potent shooting circles, with Gretel Bueta, Romelda Aiken and Tippah Dwan all re-signing with the Club for the 2021 season.
Aiken and Dwan will resume the prolific combination that saw them finish second in goals scored by shooting pairs across the league in 2020, while Vice-Captain and reigning Liz Ellis Diamond Bueta will return to the court following the birth of her first child.
Queensland Firebirds’ High Performance Director, Jeremy Hickmans, believes the attacking trio have the potential to make a significant impact on the competition.
“Romelda again proved she’s amongst the world’s best shooters with her resurgent form this year, while Tippah produced one of the most impressive debut seasons we’ve seen across the league in recent memory,” Hickmans said.
“When you can then welcome a player of Gretel’s calibre back into that mix, you’re looking at one of the most proficient and versatile shooting circles in the competition.”
“We are really excited by the depth of attacking options this group provides and know all three players will have our Purple Family on their feet in season 2021.”
Bueta, Aiken and Dwan join defenders Kim Jenner, Tara Hinchliffe and Rudi Ellis, as well as midcourter Kim Ravaillion as committed players for the Queensland Firebirds in the 2021 Suncorp Super Netball season.
