The season is set to begin on April 5 with Moama following up on its preliminary final loss to Finley with a round one trip to Nathalia.
It will be the first test for the Magpies’ new coaching combination, with incumbent Jye Warren joined by Liam Barrett for 2025.
Also in round one, Tongala, which is now under the guidance of Stephen Hammond, will visit Echuca South Recreation Reserve as both the Blues and Echuca United look to start their year on the front foot after a disappointing 2024.
A blockbuster netball encounter in round two will see losing grand finalists Moama, now led by Lisa Drysdale, take on the side that pipped it for the 2024 crown, Rumbalara.
The huge encounters continue on Good Friday, April 18, when the first of two Three Jacks Trophy encounters will take place, Echuca United the first to host the historic tie.
The sides will match up again on the King’s Birthday weekend, June 7, where Moama Recreation Reserve will be the battleground.
Moama will first clash with Tongala in round five, May 3, where a preliminary final rematch will take place in A-grade netball.
The sides will encounter each other again on August 2 in the split round 16, while the Blues and Eagles’ second match-up will be two weeks earlier on July 19.
There will be two split rounds in the competition, round six split across May 10 and 17, and round 16 encompassing August 2 and 9.
