On behalf of all of us at Cricket ACT, we wish all the players, coaches, volunteers and officials the best of luck for the tournament ahead.

CAMERON FRENCHCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CRICKET ACT

With only one new player coming into the ACT/NSW Country team from last year’s squad, expectations are high for this year’s Championships. The team will be led by NSW Breakers’ players Rachel Trenaman and Tahlia Wilson and includes NSW Emerging Player Squad members Matilda Lugg, Emma Hughes, Elie Dalgarno-Fixter and Claire Murray.

Look out for Claire Lennon and Katelyn Beaumont throughout the Championships as players to watch. Lennon will be a major influence with her medium pace bowling and strong lower order batting while Beaumont’s brilliant early season form with both the bat and ball has given her every opportunity to exhibit her full abilities this year.

The Cricket Australia XI (CAXI) has been selected from

the recent National Under 15 Talent Camp at the Bupa National Cricket Centre. The players in this

squad have been identified as some of the most exciting young cricketers in

their age group from right around the country. With an average age of 14, what CA XI lacks in age and experience will be made up for

with talent and enthusiasm.

Darcie Brown and Olivia Porter are two players to watch for the CA XI. Brown, at only 14 years of age, will be one of the quickest bowlers

in this year’s tournament, expect to see her terrorise even the best top order batters with her right arm pace and swing. Porter is a genuine all-

rounder playing in her second tournament with the CA XI.

NSW Metro will unleash a very young team with a good mix of experience in their defence of the Betty Butcher Shield.

Fourteen-year old’s Hayley Silver-Holmes and Angie Genford, plus three other 15-year-old’s, will merge with NSW Breakers squad player and Under 18 Captain Saskia Horley in this season’s Championships. Watch talented all-rounder Isabelle Afaras look to step it up even further after a very successful tournament with the CA XI last year. A stylish top-order batter, Afaras is also an orthodox spinner and a leader on the field. Jordann Johnson is another one to look out for, the youngster possessing the ability to bowl good line and length as well as her long hitting in the lower order.

Queensland Fire player Josey Dooley will lead the

squad for the course of this carnival. Dooley, as wicketkeeper and a solid top-order bat, will be

supported by Courtney Sippel and Renee Irvine, who return with an extra

year of experience under their belts.

Sippel has developed into a strong new-ball bowler and a top order bat, while Irvine is also a front-line bowler and

middle-order hitter. Irvine brings a wealth of experience to the side having made her domestic debut for Queensland last summer before capping off a memorable season when she made her debut

for the Brisbane Heat in the Rebel Women’s Big Bash League, all at just 15 years of age. Queensland look to have a nice mix of experience and

youth, with two Under 15 players also named in their side.




Born in Shepparton in Victoria’s north, Mooney moved to Hervey Bay as a 10-year-old and it wasn’t long before her budding cricket career took off.

Like so many it was an invitation to fill-in for her brother’s cricket team in Victoria that turned into Mooney making regular appearances for Kialla Lakes Cricket Club.

After sitting the first year out in Hervey Bay, Mooney joined her local Hervey Bay team and not long after found herself selected in her first Under 12 Queensland Schoolgirls team.

She naturally progressed through the Under 15, 17 and 18 Queensland state teams, often competing above her years, before remarkably making her domestic debut for the Queensland Fire in the Women’s National Cricket League as a 15-year-old in 2010.

Now a core member of the Australian Women’s Cricket Team, Mooney looks back on the path she has taken and how far it has taken her…

Tell us about some of the memories you have from the National Championships?

I just remember being excited about going away each year because I had made some good friends from the others teams, including Megan Schutt and Molly Strano. My Queensland team was great and I made some really good friends there, but I had also made some strong friendships with players from other teams as well. It’s pretty cool that now we are teammates in the Australian team; Megan and I often talk about how we swapped shirts at one of the carnivals and now we’re good mates and play on the same team representing Australia.

PROUD QUEENSLANDER AND FORMER HERVEY BAY RESIDENT BETH MOONEY KNOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE.

How much do you think participating in the National Championships helped your development?

It wasn’t an elite environment but it was a step up from the men’s cricket I was playing in Hervey Bay. I could see the road I wanted to take and each year I would set my sights on making a certain team which was going to help me move up to the next team, and so on.

Cricket Australia then started selecting squads for an under 18 talent camp and I wanted to get myself into the Australia setup. I guess I was fortunate enough to play in the Under 15 and Under 17 Championships a couple of times so I was always playing a few age groups above what my actual age was and that presented a good challenge. I just thrived in that environment where I was around people a bit older and stronger than me and I wanted to be the best there.

What opportunities were you presented with that you may not have had if you continued with club cricket in Hervey Bay?

I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to train at the Bupa National Cricket Centre in Brisbane and be exposed to world class facilities and coaches, and wouldn’t have been around people my own age trying to do the same thing as me and achieve the same goals.

I think that was important for me as I always had people a couple of years older than me who were already established in the Queensland Fire squad and that’s what I wanted to do. If I stayed in Hervey Bay and just played men’s cricket, whilst it was good to hone my skills, there weren’t as many people trying to achieve the same goals as me.

What was it like playing in your first representative all girls team?

It was just nice to be the same as everyone else and I made some really good friends in my regional team as well as the Queensland team. It was nice to play with people my own age and not get looked at twice because I was different to everyone else, we were all the same and everyone was just excited to be there and have a great time.

It wasn’t a daunting experience, just a bunch of friends having a good time, enjoying each other’s company and doing something that we loved doing.

If you had one piece of advice for those girls involved in this year’s Championships, what would it be?

Embrace the challenge and the nature of what the tournament is about – and ask lots of questions. One thing I didn’t do at that age was ask questions of people who came in, whether it was Australian players or state players, to engage in conversations and try to further develop my game. Embrace the conversations you have and really get to know your teammates and players in other teams. Who knows, in five years’ time you might be playing together for Australia!

South Australia will be pushing to improve their eighth-place finish last year, and with a good mix of new and more experienced players they are well positioned to do so.

Experienced players Rachel Church and Emma de Broughe are just two of the names to watch out for these Championships. Church’s experience and leadership will be a huge asset for South Australia. A dynamic wicketkeeper with exceptional glove work, Church is also an accomplished top order batter who will be looking to guide South Australia to some big scores. Meanwhile de Broughe is a natural athlete who also excels at hockey. An attacking top-order batter and right arm swing bowler, she is an exciting young talent and will play an important role for her side.

The Tasmanian team is a young and enthusiastic group

that is eager to perform on the national stage. The team is solid in

the field and will create pressure with their skills. This will back up some tight

bowling and solid efforts with the bat. They are all looking forward to the challenges

that lay ahead, led by players including Emma Manix-Geeves and Courtney Webb.

Emma Manix-Geeves and Courtney Webb are two players to watch. Manix-Geeves is a wicketkeeper and middle to higher

order batter and Webb is an all-rounder and excellent fielder. Both players participated in the Youth Talent camp and have brought back some very helpful hints for the rest of the group. They are both keen

to build on last years’ very pleasing performances.




Victoria come to the Championships well prepared after an excellent winter academy program and will field an experienced line up with 10 players returning this season after playing with either Victoria or the CA XI in Hobart at last year’s Championships.

With a strong squad featuring senior Victorian listed players Annabel Sutherland and Nicole Faltum, the Victorians will be looking to repeat their championship win in Canberra from two years ago after finishing fourth last summer. Players to watch for Victoria at this years’ Championships are Annabel Sutherland and Nicole Faltum. Last season, Sutherland became the youngest player in the Rebel Women’s Big Bash League when she made her debut against the Sydney Thunder. Nicole is fresh from making her domestic debut for Victoria debut earlier this year, the wicketkeeper batter will be looking forward to strong Championships before joining the Melbourne Stars for WBBL|03.

Cricket Australia Development Umpire Panel member Claire Polosak will return to the Championships that kick started her national umpiring pathway. Mentoring the group, Polosak will bring a wealth of knowledge to help develop aspiring female umpires across Australian cricket.

Appointed to the Cricket Australia Development Umpire Panel in the 2015/16 season and current member of the ICC Development Panel of Umpires, Polosak has been a ground-breaker throughout her career.

In October 2017, she became the first female to stand in a men’s List-A match as part of the JLT One-Day Cup competition. More recently she was appointed to the One-Day International component of the Commonwealth Bank Women’s Ashes Series. Earlier this year Polosak was appointed to the ICC Women’s World Cup in England throughout June and July, where she stood in four matches and was Reserve Umpire for a further three fixtures.

Last season was busy for Polosak, including appointment to the Women’s Championship fixtures between Australia and South Africa in Canberra and Sydney throughout November. Soon after she was appointed to the WNCL Final in Brisbane between Queensland and New South Wales in December before turning her attention to the WBBL|02. In January Polosak was appointed as TV Umpire in the BBL fixture between Hobart and Adelaide – the first female to officiate at this level.

Polosak travelled to Sri Lanka in February to officiate in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, with her strong performances culminating in an appointment to the Final between India and South Africa. Returning to Australian shores, Polosak finished her long season in Hobart where she was appointed to the Australia versus Sri Lanka Under 19 men’s series throughout April.

Polosak was first appointed to these Championships in Ballarat in January 2014, and most recently stood in the final last season.
