Congratulations to all the players who attended the Junior State Cup Tournament in Wagga from the 18- 20 February: Sacha Parr, Sophie Davis, Zara Ibrahim, Olivia Ward, Heavenly Dwyer, Sadie Juneja, Olivia Davis, Helena O’Brien, Lily Cooney, Rosie Pallett and myself.
Although I was devasted I couldn’t play, Zara Ibrahim stepped up in my place just two days before the tournament and I was able to support all the teams from the sidelines throughout the weekend.
Thank you to the referees who also joined us, and to Lucy Juneja and Clementine Hooper. Despite the heat and tough conditions, all the players and referees continued to work hard all weekend and got some great results. All girls made the finals and Sacha Parr’s team even made it all the way through to the semi-finals. Congratulations to Sophie Davis and Lily Cooney for winning players player in each of their teams.
