NSW Origin Touch Football

Congratulations to Mia Rodgers (Year 11 Student), who represented the NSW Women’s Under 20s Touch Football Team at the State of Origin tournament in Coffs Harbour. 

Mia’s team came up against a strong QLD Women’s Under 20s side in a three-game series. The first game was a tight encounter, with NSW holding off QLD to win 5-4. This meant that if they won the second game, NSW would retain the series. However, the Queensland girls came out with a vengeance, defeating NSW 5-3 in a fast-paced match. The series was then drawn 1-1, with the third match to decide which team would return home with the shield. The game was physical and intense, but NSW managed to claim victory, 6-4, and win the overall series. 

A massive congratulations to Mia on the win and for being awarded the Players’ Player by her team mates. 

Mia has now been included in the group that will trial for an Aussies Under 18s team in August, in Brisbane for an Australian team that will go to NZ in January.

A fantastic achievement!
