The season is set to begin on April 9, with the Swifts facing Laharum at Cameron Oval.

The powerhouse that is Laharum's A Grade netballers will prove a big test for the Swifts.

The 2019 premiers went undefeated on their way to the minor premiership in 2021, while the Swifts finished a respectable sixth.

Laharum will likely be one of the side's to beat again, meaning the Swifts will find out quickly where they're at.

In the Senior football the Swifts finished 2021 in seventh, three spots ahead of Laharum in 10^th.

They will go in with the wood over the Demons after they defeated them by 42-points in their 2021 round five match-up.

Harrow Balmoral's match against Noradjuha-Quantong is the other obvious headline in both the senior football and the A Grade netball.
