Opals vs NSW Country U 20 team
Interesting line up for un19s you have there. I'd agree with the other poster though re Antoniadou, great on CRT leader seen her go either way many times and very vocal as soon as she's got the ball she's barking orders. But Wallace is an excellent player. Both have many years yet before they are ready for the big time though, with Wallace in college at Baylor she should come back even better.
Lots of talent floating around for future years with the amount that are going to college, it will be interesting to see who rises to the top

Sorry Antoniadou is a pg. who can shoot, ever watched her direct traffic and bring players into the game she had the coolest head at un18 nationals last year. Not taking anything from Wallace think she's a fantastic player all round, but I'd put her as a shooter first Pg second and Antoniadou PG first shooter second. Kristy loves to shoot first pass second, that's a shooters mindset, were as Antoniadou will always look for the open player first.

All true PGs unlike Tupaea and Wallace , Wallace is wasted in the PG spot she's too good a shooter but can play the 1/2 same as Clydesdale and Antoniadou.

It will be at least another 5 maybe 6 years before these names would be looking to get a run, many many more names will emerge in that time lol, it's like fantasy football

Tupuea is no PG proved this in un17s, Wallace is a better SG, and more will emerge in the next few years to challenge those names for sure

Burton is not impressive that's for sure, but Joyce like her, bit like Lavey, they leave you sctratching your head as to WHY!!, but if Joyce likes you your in with a shot.

What ball did they use?
I remember playing a womans team with the GF6 (?) smaller ball. What a disaster that was LOL.
Only one size down, but considerably smaller and lighter. I remember us lads throwing up absolute bricks. Every shot was long by about a metre.


opals offense broke down due to speed,leap and reach of the boys. A lot of early outside shots put up without giving an offense the chance to create shots. Losing cambage early hurt.
Boys played the game in a great spirit.
