The girls from Dee Why boast one of the youngest rosters in the competition, but they won’t let that stop them from taking it to some of Australia’s most elite underage talent.

“We won a bronze medal a couple of years ago,” director of sport Craig Baker said.

“During the Covid years we haven’t been able to see the progression as we have previously.

“Our roster is definitely the youngest as far as experience, but we’ve got some shooters and we know when we’re hot we can compete with most teams.

“There’s the potential there for this team to do well.”

The coaching crew take an in-depth look at the 11-girl roster looking to bring the trophy back to the northern beaches.
