The representative match will be played against arch-rival, the Ovens and Murray League, at Deakin Reserve on May 25.

The GVL Open netball squad was announced on Sunday, with four clubs represented in the senior interleague netball side.

Euroa’s Ellie Warnock and Rochester’s Rachel Whipp will coach the Goulburn Valley team as the girls try to make it two straight interleague wins for the purple-and-gold against the yellow-and-black.
