LOCAL netball player Abbey Morcom is one talented individual, having been selected to play in numerous teams throughout the year.
While juggling school, study, family and friends, Abbey has also been selected to represent the Budgies Australian Indigenous Schoolgirls netball team at the Gold Coast Netball Carnival in July, compete in the Coolum state team, and represent the Queensland Indigenous netball team in Fiji this September.
Abbey started playing netball in 2013 and will be busy in the lead up to her competitions as she already plays as part of the Good Shepherd College netball team as well as a team in Coolum.
Having previously represented the Budgies National Indigenous Team in 2014, Abbey is well aware of the cost associated with competitive netball but the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Memorial Club were keen to help out the budding netball star.
The club was overjoyed at the prospect of sponsoring Abbey with a $500 donation to assist towards these costs and members look forward to watching her achievements over the coming months.
