Kerrin recently made her debut to the football pitch, in our national women's football tournament, the Kerr Cup.
Before The Kerr Cup, Kerrin had never kicked a ball before, this was her first ever football game and tournament.
Kerrin not only won the Players Player award, but also scored her first ever goal!
She was a great team player encouraging her team of unexperienced players to get involved and to go for it.
Her story is a reminder that every time a woman steps onto the pitch, it counts.

Mike is our LR Leisure Diver. But this year at the CSSC National Swimming Competition held in Sheffield he also had to become a swimmer.
Despite not being a swimmer, Mike volunteered himself to swim 50m sprint so that our team could participate in a relay instead of having to withdraw.
Mike sacrificed getting home at a reasonable time that evening so that his team could participate in the relay, winning vital points to secure them 4th place in the whole competition.
Mike swam the 50m amazingly with no goggles as he wasn't confident or sure if they would come off upon diving into the water.
