The Kilsyth Cobra Women have made their first move for the 2024 NBL1 season, re-signing rising star, Georgia Booth.

Booth enjoyed a breakout season with the Cobras, leading the team in three point makes while ranking second on the team in scoring. The lightning quick guard blossomed into a high level scorer, averaging 17.5 points per game over the first three months of the season, highlighted by a career-high 29 point outing in a Round 11 home win over the Ballarat Rush. 

With the ability to catch fire from deep, slash to the basket and finish through heavy contact, Booth proved to be a nightmare matchup on the wing, routinely blowing by bigger defenders off the bounce and overpowering smaller guards in the paint. The SEBC Saints junior’s unique combination of explosive speed and strength – coupled with her trademark grit and aggression – translated to the other end of the floor, too, as Booth established herself as a highly disruptive and versatile defender capable of locking down multiple positions. 

Booth’s spectacular year did not go unnoticed; she was a finalist for the NBL1 South Youth Player of the Year award, and was recently signed as a development player with the Southside Flyers for the 2023-24 WNBL season. 

With new head coach Mark Watkins preaching hard-nosed defence and pace on the offensive end, Booth is the perfect first piece in the Cobras puzzle, and set to feature heavily on both sides of the ball for Kilsyth in 2024. With a spectacular year three in the books, Booths’ ever-expanding skill set, toughness and leadership have her – and the Cobras – poised to take a significant leap in 2024.
