The Newcastle Herald said it all in its Junior Sports Liftout this week when it said our South’s Lions were roaring with success and who could not agree when our junior girls have dominated the selected Newcastle girls in State teams.
It all started back in June when Yasmin Skene( captain) and Jasmine Etheridge were named in the NSW Primary School Girl’s side to compete in the National School’s Challenge at Labrador in Queensland from August 9th to 13th.

South Junior girls have certainly proven their ability in the past couple of week with their inclusion in State teams and squads.
We have already noted the outstanding feats of Estelle Hughes and Mirah Williams who have been included in the NSW Under 15 squad for a High Performance Camp where they will be assessed for a place in the state team.
Now we can add the names of Yasmin Skene and Jasmine Etheridge to the list of high achievers as both girls were selected in the NSW Primary School team for the National Schools Championship to be held on the Gold Coast in August.
Both girls are members of South’s 2 which plays in the AR competition
This will be Yasmin’s second year in the NSW team.
The girls were selected after their outstanding performances for the Hunter regional side at the State championships in Lithgow last week. The unheralded Hunter team played outstanding hockey breaking a 22 year drought by becoming joint premiers with the strong Western Region side. Hunter went through the carnival only defeated by Western in an earlier round.
Other South’s girls to excel for the Hunter were Abbey Morris, Kendall Steel and Katie Duck.
We should also mention to the outstanding effort of Katie Schimann from the Tigers Club who had a strong carnival with some outstanding defence displayed in the semi- final and final.
Not to be outdone by the South’s girls, Joshua Skene, also from our club, was ranked No.1 umpire at the championships and as a result was selected to represent NSW at the Nationals

What a fortnight it has been for some of our junior girls. Firstly congratulations to Siobhan Larkin that has been selected in both the U/16 and Open Combined Independent Schools (CIS) State Teams. She was selected through multiple gala days where 4 teams from different areas would compete against one another. Each day was for the purpose of selecting a team to go to the next level, firstly starting at representing her school (HVGS), then the hunter region independent schools (HRIS), then the association of independent and co-educational schools (AICES) and just recently got selected in the two CIS teams to go to All Schools. The U/16's All Schools gala day is on the 30th of May at Moorebank and from that day, the selectors will choose the NSW U/16 Team. The Open All Schools gala day is on later, on the 27th of August at Newcastle. Also Monique McClean Phillips was selected in the AICES team, where it came down to her and two other goalies, unfortunately Monique was unsuccessful not to be selected
Then congratulations too two of our youngest players in A Grade (SOUTHS1) Mariah Williams and Estelle Hughes that have been selected in the NSW U15’s girls squad, the state team selections will take place at the Newcastle International Hockey Centre from July 5-7.
Estelle has also been selected in the U16’s Public All Schools side where she will meet Siobhan at Moorebank (in separate teams). And how luck are we to have such a talented young girl playing with Souths that has been recently named with 19 other players from around the State in the NSW institute of sport emerging hockey talent squad which will be run by Judy Lang.
Well done girls and GOOD LUCK.
