Three Parramatta cricketers have been selected to represent NSW Metropolitan at the U19 Female National Championships in Brisbane.
The event is taking place from December 14 to 21.
Parramatta players Kate Pelle, Zoe Murdoch and Lucy Wilson have all been selected in the side.
“All three players have shown exceptional commitment to the U19 program and put in some really good performances, in both Sydney Premier Cricket for Parramatta, as well as during the Metropolitan trial matches held in September,” said Sarah Aley, Head Coach of the NSW Metropolitan U19 squad.
“This competition will allow all three players to continue to grow and develop as cricketers and athletes, in what is an exciting time for women’s cricket.”
Aley said it gives all three players the opportunity to challenge themselves.
“Kate took the step up to professional cricket through the WBBL this season and performed well in her first season of elite cricket, and through the U19 Championships she will have more opportunities to dominate with the bat and expand on her leadership potential,” she said.
“Zoe has dominated first grade Premier Cricket for a couple of season and now has the chance to challenge herself at the next level of representative cricket.
“Lucy is a young and exciting all round cricketer who has worked tirelessly this pre-season to return from a significant injury. Her dedication to her rehab has been second to none and the step up from U16s to U19s will be a great challenge for her which she will relish.”
