What is one thing that we don’t know about this Rising Star that they are well known for around the club?

Kate is known for not being well known at all! She’s an enigma. What many people wouldn’t know is that she is a high level cricketer (her fielding skills influencing her marking style) and also an accomplished swimmer.

What role do they play for the club both on and off the field?

Kate is a marking forward, takes big grabs, and has high accuracy on goals. Off the field – she hates the spotlight. She is shy but confident in her skills
