Under 16 Girls Nationals - Preview

Published Wed 20 Dec 2023

After a fantastic tournament from our NSW U23 Women in Adelaide last week yielding third place, the NSW Under 16 Girls will hit the diamond in the new year full of confidence with the motivation to claim NSW's first Nationals title for the season when they compete at the 2024 Esther Deason Shield National Championship at Waverley, Victoria from Tuesday 2nd January to Sunday 7th January 2024. Our NSW Under 16 Girls will be representing both NSW and the Waratah with emotion and pride at the historical Esther Deason Shield, with only one goal in mind to win the prestigious shield. With months of training, hard work and building camaraderie with each other our NSW Under 16 Girls are well-equipped to showcase their vast skills in a competitive environment, whilst having fun and taking this amazing opportunity to represent NSW with both hands. We wish our Under 16 Girls good luck and with every swing, catch and pitch everyone back home and at the grounds will be cheering you on as you make us all proud.
