Zoe is picking up the skills and teamwork aspects of footy incredibly quickly. Her speed, athleticism and toughness have her teammates and coaches in awe. She plays like Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and Britt Bonnici.

She does it with a smile on her face and a great attitude. Zoe is quickly becoming the Sharks’ newest cult figure.”
