Nomination Details

Reason for nomination this round:

Taylah is having herself a very solid first year in the Sydney Premier competition. She has been very consistent with her game and how she has added a new element to the midfield group. Constantly around the contest, head over the football and loves to take the opposition player on. Over the weekend she finished in the top 6.

Coach quote on Performance:

Taylah set the tempo of the game from the first bounce. She was a ball magnet over the weekend and she backed it up with quality disposals surging forward.
