WNBL Update
Geelong’s WNBL squad is pleased to welcome its newest addition, Shyla Heal.
After two dominant seasons in Europe, most recently as a top 5 scorer in the top Turkish League, as well as success in Poland, Israel and France, Shyla was a highly sought after free agent in Europe and turned down a range of lucrative offers to sign with Geelong in a bid to bring a WNBL title to the region. She returns to the WNBL for the first time since winning a championship with Townsville in 2023, and fresh off training camp with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
NBL1 Update:
Women continue unbeaten run to 14 – Men with work to do:
Our women’s squad have continued their perfect run for the season, defeating both Ringwood and Launceston over the weekend to bring up a perfect 14 wins.
Our men’s squad had a slightly tougher double header weekend, going down to some strong opposition in Ringwood on Saturday night, followed by a 12 point loss on home floor to NW Tasmania.
They’ll look to regroup into next weekend as we once again take to our home floor against Diamond Valley.
Next home game:
We’re back home this Saturday night! Don’t forget to grab your tickets to our round 11 clash against Diamond Valley. Women from 5pm, Men from 7pm – Get your tickets here.
