Cammeraygal Student to Play for Sapphires

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker It's always so heartening to see young women achieving their best in the sporting arena, and recently, our local North Shore girls and women have been doing just that. I want to congratulate a Cammeraygal High School student, Erica Finney, on being selected to play for the Under 17s Sapphires Basketball Team. Erica will travel to Mexico in July this year to represent Australia at the FIBA 2024 World Cup. Erica has been identified as the top shooter in the country after her NSW Metro team recently took home the gold at the Under 18s Nationals competition in Brisbane. Now, on the global stage, the Sapphires are set to play basketball powerhouse USA before competing against Croatia and Puerto Rico. Congratulations Erica on such a fantastic accomplishment, your dedication to your sport and ability as a player is truly admirable. Good luck Sapphires, we're so proud of all of you. I am looking forward to cheering you on from home.
