The GIANTS are hitting the road and hitting the court as pre-season preparations ramp up ahead of the 2021 season.
The GIANTS will travel to the town of Orange this weekend to take on the Adelaide Thunderbirds in two matches on Friday and Saturday.
The two teams will play in a closed match on Friday night, before putting on a show for the people of Orange in a COVID-controlled sold out Stadium on Saturday night.
The team will also spend Saturday morning hosting a clinic for the young netballers of the Central West region.
Home town hero Annie Miller will be a chance to hit the court for the first time, in a town that means so much to her.

The GIANTS’ defensive end of Sam Poolman, Kristiana Manu’a and April Brandley will continue to further develop their combinations, while Sophie Dwyer and Jo Harten will work on the new shooting combination of the young and the old up front.
Recently-announced Training Partners Amy Sligar and Jemma Donoghue will also travel with the team, along with Latika Tombs and GIANTS Academy athlete Ang Frketic.
Kiera Austin and Jamie-Lee Price will miss the match due to Australian Diamonds commitments and fellow GIANT Matilda McDonell is unavailable, as her workload is being managed.
