North Sydney Bears Head to Grand Final

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, today I acknowledge the incredible efforts of the North Sydney Bears Women's team, who are competing in the 2020 Harvey Norman Women's Premiership Grand Final this weekend. This is the first time that the Bears Women's team has reached the grand final series, and the team has shown great strength and development throughout the challenging 2020 season. The success of this team has also been reflected across the North Sydney Junior League in which female participation has risen by over sixty percent in the last 12 months. This year the North Sydney Bears have also launched the Red and Black Foundation with one of its programs focused on championing the equality of women in rugby league, from grassroots all the way up to the NRL Women's Competition. Congratulations to North Sydney Bears for investing in female participation, giving every girl and woman the opportunity to follow their passion. Good luck to the girls as they take on the Central Coast Roosters at Bankwest Stadium this Sunday, we'll be cheering for you.
