Later, her mother founded a cricket team for girls at the club. Before playing cricket, she played Australian rules football. Talking about him in an interview, his father said,
A lot has changed in sports for girls and women, but for them during their elementary school years there was still a time when their only way to play was to play with boys. One of the things I consider is that she was brave to play in that environment and she really loved her sport, whether it was cricket or footy, because she was the only girl in a boys’ team. Sometimes there were two girls, but mostly there were only boys. And that can be quite intimidating… I always thought it was brave, or that she really loved the game, wanted to do it week after week, year after year.
