CONGRATULATIONS TO NAT & ROXY TAKE THE FIELD AT THE MCG
Breakways own Nat Redford & Roxy McGee completed a 5 day high performance training schedule in Melbourne two weekends ago, culminating in an exhibition match on the MCG as the curtain raiser to the sold out Melbourne vs Collingwood game last Monday. Both Nat & Roxy learnt HEAPS while in the camp and they’re both pumped up to bring their fresh knowledge back to us. Congratulations to both Nat & Roxy for such an amazing achievement, and another congratulations to Nat for winning the inaugural Shannon McFerran Medal, voted by her peers, to acknowledge the player showing the best attitude & leadership in the camp! See the links below for the story and photos of the girls in action in Melbourne.
