The Corowa-Rutherglen A-grade coach has previously steered the league's under-15s and lead the under-17s to a second place finish in the state back in 2019.

But this season will mark her first time at the helm of the open side.

"This is one of my bucket list items and I'm pretty excited to have the opportunity to work with the best players we have to offer in our league," Bruce said.

"Interleague brings a lot of pride to country football and netball.

"We are excited to bring them all together and proud to showcase these talents not only at country level, but at Association Champs where they will compete against the state's best."
