The Heathcote electorate is brimming with sporting stars. From surfers and soccer players to netballers and cricketers.

There really is no shortage of talented sports people throughout the electorate. One of the youngest stars to take the sporting world by storm is Jessica Wardrobe. The Engadine resident recently represented Australia in the mixed team at the Asia Pacific Youth Touch Cup in Brisbane. It was an incredible achievement for Jessica and reward for years of hard work. The cherry on top was the fact that Jessica and her teammates won gold, with an impressive 18-4 victory over the Philippines in the final. Jessica also collected three tries during the tournament – with two of those in the final match. Jessica is also a member of the Sutherland Athletics Club, which explains her blistering speed when playing touch football. In fact, in 2022, Jessica collected gold medals in the NSW All Schools championships in the 100 metres and 200 metres events. The future for 19-year-old Jessica certainly looks incredibly bright. Congratulations again Jessica on a great result in the Asia Pacific Youth Touch Cup.
