Griffith's Abby Favell, Leeton's Paris Crelley and Hay's Hannah Stewart have been included in the squad composed of the best players from the NSW/ACT Rams as well as Tasmania to contest the competition to be held on the Gold Coast in July.
The Eastern Allies will come up against some fierce competition as they take on the Central Allies (South Australia and Northern Territory hybrid team), Vic Country and Vic Metro across their three games.
Coach of the side Steve Mahar believes his team has what it takes to test the bigger sides.
"It is always good to test yourself against the best," he said.
"I believe the Eastern Allies have what it takes to compete against the likes of Vic Country, Metro and the Central Allies. We are looking forward to the challenge and expect to make it a tough contest."
The side will travel up to the Gold Coach on Saturday, July 6 before playing their first game against the Central Allies at Metricon Stadium on Monday, July 8 followed by the clash with Vic Country on July 10 and wrapping up a busy week against Vic Metro on Friday, July 12.
