■ Kilsyth Lady Cobras have re-signed key player Hayley Moffatt for the 2012 South East Australian Basketball League season.

Moffatt has played for the Cobras since 2005 and shapes as a key member of the Cobras side for the coming season as she can fill both guard and forward positions.

She said she wanted to lead her side to a championship. "I'm sure that the girls coming into the team will fit in with no difficulty and I am confident we can have a very successful season."
