The trio are all in the midst of their first season in Tallangatta's A-grade side, as well as co-coaching the club's C-grade team.

If they didn't see each other enough at netball, they're also housemates.

"We spend a lot of time together," Grimmond said.

There's also a family connection between two thirds of the group, with Dwyer and Grimmond cousins.

This marks the first season they've played alongside each other, with the duo teaming up in goals.

"A lot of people think that we've goaled together before," Grimmond said.

"We've just got a bit of a connection, it could be the family connection.

"Some people get us confused on court, so we just respond to both names now."

Dwyer admitted Saturdays have become a bit of a weekly family reunion on the sidelines.

"It's a big family affair, you see a section of Grimmond and Dwyers," she said.

All three have previously played Ovens and Murray netball for Wodonga Bulldogs, but never in the same team.

Grimmond, who is the oldest of the trio, has most recently played for Melbourne University and Riddell District League club Wallan, before moving back to the Border last year.

"When I moved back and heard that these guys were playing at Tallangatta I thought I'd jump in as well," she said.

The Hoppers have also welcomed former Wodonga netballer Rebekah Ohlin from Albury Tigers this season.

Dwyer admitted it's exciting playing alongside players she idolised as a junior.

"It's so nice playing alongside people that you used to look up to when you were younger," Dwyer said.

"When I was playing juniors in Wodonga, Bek, Anna (Avery) and Tess were all in A-grade and I used to think wow, I want to be like them.

"Now I'm on the same team as them."

ALSO IN SPOT:

Collins began her netball career at Barnawartha, before later playing for both Wodonga Raiders and Bulldogs.

But it's not the only sport she enjoys, having also previously been involved as a football umpire.

"I really enjoyed running the boundary," Collins said.

"It was nice to run around and have a front row seat."

Tallangatta have so far had four wins and one draw against reigning premiers Kiewa-Sandy Creek.

Grimmond admitted the side is feeling good after five rounds.

"During preseason we knew we had a good team, but it's hard to know when you're new to a league how you'll compare to other sides," Grimmond said.

"The Kiewa game really showed what level we're at, because they're such a good team.

"Everyone was a bit deflated with the draw, but ok with it at the same time.

"It's going to be exciting playing them again later in the season."

The Hoppers' next task will be against Thurgoona in Tallangatta this weekend.

The Bulldogs are coming off the back of a loss to Chiltern.

Other round six Tallangatta and District League matches will see Barnawartha host Kiewa-Sandy Creek, Chiltern play Wahgunyah, Dederang Mt Beauty take on Mitta United, Wodonga Saints clash with Rutherglen, and Yackandandah to go head-to-head with Beechworth.

The Roos are currently undefeated so far this season.
