Young Josie and Skye have just walked away a Silver medal after a thrilling Grand Final at the Australian U14 Girls Championships in Canberra.

I say walk, but I can assure you no walking was done by these two pocket rockets!
What a tournament these young ladies had, what an experience for them both!

Girls, Silver is such an amazing accomplishment at a National championship. You should both be extremely proud of your efforts.

The future is bright and yours for the taking, and this is why we know there will be plenty more opportunities for you to bring home a Gold medal at this level in the future.

Congratulations Girls.... you did yourselves, Queensland, and SCHA, proud 🏑🥈
