First year Diesel Fitter apprentice joins the U19's Women's State of Origin
If you can’t wait for game two of the NRL State of Origin there’s good news. The Ampol Women’s State of Origin is on its way with Queensland chasing their first back-to-back win on home soil.
Joining the days line up will be the Queensland Under 19 clash. It will feature some of the country’s leading emerging talent and will be the curtain-raiser for the Women’s State of Origin match on June 25 at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
One of those leading emerging talents selected for the Under 19s squad also happens to work at Hastings Deering.
Zoe Cook is a Hastings Deering first year Diesel fitter apprentice from Sarina, about 30kms south of Mackay and when she’s not working at Mackay’s CRG cylinder bay, you can find Zoe training with her club Brothers Magpies.
18-year-old Zoe has been playing rugby league since she was 12. “I started playing for our school team in grade 7. I used to play soccer and AFL and a few other sports but then they bought the comp into school. All my friends were going to have a go, so I joined in and ended up loving it!
