Andrea Gilmore

ANPA 21/U Player of the Year

“I am shocked. There were so many girls in the team that could have taken it out.”

“It’s a pretty talented group with some of the girls already being made Diamonds so I am very happy to have picked that one up.

“Being World Youth Champions makes this award even more special, to be recognized in a team that’s done so well is really nice.”

“I gave Mum and Dad a call and they are so happy, I spoke to my sister as well and they are just really excited for me.”
