OLD teammates and new rivals — NSW Swifts midcourter Paige Hadley, new GWS Giants shooter Susan Pettitt and Collingwood gun Caitlin Thwaites — will be briefly reunited as part of a team hoping to complete an impressive trifecta for Australian netball at this year’s world Fast 5 championships.

The championships will be held in Melbourne from late October to November with Australia fielding a 10-strong line-up which includes six Diamonds squad members.

Paige Hadley has stayed with the NSW Swifts for 2017.

Thwaites, who teamed with Pettitt at the Swifts in 2016 for one of the most formidable shooting combinations in the game, last week signed on with the new Magpies team for the 2017 national netball league.

NETBALL PAY DEAL: HOW IT WORKS

A day later Pettitt confirmed she had moved across town to the GWS Giants team with midcourter Kim Green.

And on Friday Hadley confirmed she would be staying put with a rebuilding Swifts for the upcoming season.

The objective of the team is to further confirm Australia’s status as top netball nation in the world

Caitlin Thwaites is now with the Magpies and Susan Pettitt with the Giants.

“The Diamonds are reigning Commonwealth Games and Netball World Cup gold medallists and we are working to join them as Fast 5 Netball World Series gold medallists,” said coach Jane Searle.

The two-day Fast 5 event will see six teams play a modified version of the game which includes multiple point shots and double point power plays.

Games will be just 24 minutes with Australia, New Zealand, England, Jamaica, Malawi and South Africa each playing six matches.

Australian Fast 5 Team: Erin Bell (NSW, 29), Courtney Bruce (WA, 22), Paige Hadley (NSW, 24), Kate Moloney (VIC, 23), Caitlyn Nevins (VIC, 29), Susan Pettitt (NSW, 32), Kate Shimmin (SA, 24), Caitlin Thwaites (VIC, 29), Gretel Tippett (NSW, 23), Jo Weston (VIC, 22).
