Under 18’s Girls Country Champions

What a fantastic weekend in Kiama for Country Champs. All the Hunter girls did their Zone proud. Hunter was short on numbers due to injuries and a few other factors but put the call out and had Mid North Coast girls and Illawarra girls reply and the team turned out to be a force to be reckoned with. The players from the other zones were not seen until about half an hour before kicking off and they had not trained as a team before but a game or two into the day and all of that was forgotten.

Over the two days we had a few draws, a few wins and no losses which edged us into first place. It was close at the end but not losing a game gave the girls the title of Country Champ winners.

Nine players from the team were selected for the Country team with six from the Hunter (Aiishya, Kyrah, Harriet, Kayla, Ruby and Terina), 2 from Mid North Coast (Sienna and Lucy) and 1 from Illawarra (Jemma). Since then, another Hunter girl (Mia.D) has been called up to join that team as well.

State Champs are coming up over the long weekend and the girls are off to Boronia Park in Hunters Hill for 3 days. We will be once again joined by the girls from Mid North Coast and Illawarra. Good luck to Portia, Shanaye, Aiishya, Kyrah, Mia.P, Harriet, Kayla, Georgia, Imogen, Ruby, Terina, Mia.D, Kalaye, Paris, Alicia, Kyana, Lucy, Amy, Jemma, Matilda and supercoach Tammy.
