KFS Team of the Year 2025: Second Row

Congratulations to Bella Piper (Belconnen United Sharks) and Kaitlyn Andrews (Yass Magpies) on their selection as the Second Rowers in the 2025 Katrina Fanning Shield Team of the Year. 

#11 - Bella Piper (Belconnen United Sharks) 

A member of the 2025 Canberra Raiders Tarsha Gale squad, Piper produced a solid season for the Belconnen United Sharks which sees her selected as one of the backrowers in the Team of the Year. 

Appearing in every game this season for the Sharks, the hard running forward became a reliable squad member for Luke Hope, with the difference between her best and worst game very minimal. 

Throughout the 2025 season, Piper was featured heavily in the Team of the Week being selected on five occasions this year. 

In only her second season in the Katrina Fanning Shield, the Rugby League world is at the feet of this talented footballer, with the CRRL excited to see where Bella Piper goes on her footballing journey. 

#12 - Kaitlyn Andrews (Yass Magpies) 

After having a year off in 2024, Andrews returned to the KFS and produced a very consistent season for the Yass Magpies. 

Despite missing the first part of the season, Andrews made a significant impact in the run home for the Magpies and become a reliable member of their squad. 

A former Monaro representative, the backrower was a reliable goal kicker throughout the 2025 campaign, successfully converting 16 goals. 

Andrews best game of the season came in the Minor Semi Final, where she scored a try and was dangerous all afternoon, despite her side losing and being eliminated from the competition.
