Leprechauns Netball Club was founded in 1979 by Jill Fowler and Verdi Reid in Gordonvale. In 1980 Leprechauns joined the newly formed Cairns Netball Association and is only one of two remaining foundation clubs. Our name and logo were derived from our inaugural sponsor Brothers Rugby League Football Club. We are proud that this partnership remains 44 years later with our major sponsor, Brother’s Cairns World of Entertainment. Initially commencing with a single A Grade team, Leprechauns quickly grew and in 1985 established our first junior teams. This proved to be the catalyst for our club to prosper by providing the necessary base on which to develop our future senior players. Leprechauns have grown to become the largest and most successful club in the history of Cairns Netball. This year we will field 180 players across all available junior and senior grades. We are proud of our strong heritage of junior development with the majority of today’s A grade team commencing with the club as young juniors.
