Even though she played well in all her games, she was unsuccessful in gaining selection.
Ava is the first girls from this area to be selected.
In all her games Ava stood out, even against the strong Sydney based Parramatta and Wollongong Girls sides and according to her u12s coach Lindsay Cosgrove.
Ava's selection was well deserved and added to her winning the Rat Tweedie Medal for the best player at the u12s Branch Championships played in Goulburn last month.
