When the highly decorated South Australian Under 18 team walk into the Australian Under 18 Championships on October 9-10 at Club Tweed, they will do so with a mix of experience and debutants.

After a distinguished 12 months, winning the 2023-24 SA Under 18 Girls Singles Championships, 2023-24 SA Under 18 Girls Player of the Year and on a National stage making the final of the 2024 Under-18 Girls’ Singles at the Australian Open and claiming the bronze medal in the Fours in last years Australian championships, Anda Panchawat will headline the girls team.

Last years stars of the bronze medal team do not stop there, with Ava Vass and Daisy Coe poised and set to return to the National stage for a third and second time respectively.

Hailing 6 and a half hours to the Adelaide metropolitan area for training and competition, is Megan Carey one of the newest debutants. Rounding of the selected five and competing in her first ‘Nationals’ is 2023-24 SA Under 18 Girls Singles runner up Mia Baldey.
