Rotunno to represent Queensland at national titles
There will be a distinct Sydney Flames flavour at the upcoming under 20 women’s Australian Junior Championships, after Lilly Rotunno’s recent selection in the Queensland side.
Nineteen-year-old Rotunno is now the third Flame to be selected for the February 14-19 tournament at Geelong, after Sydney teammates Emma Donnelly and Jada Crawshaw were last month named in the NSW squad.
