What they said:

The U16 Academy girls are extremely excited and looking forward to challenging themselves against some of the best players in their age group in the country.

They have certainly displayed some good talent and thirst for improvement already and we are looking to continue their development throughout the series.

Our long term outlook is to give these girls every opportunity to play at the elite level, if they continue to display the attributes and work ethic required, these championships will be the beginning of that pathway.
