Published Wed 24 May 2023

Hurlstone Park Wanderers player, Tamsin Colley, has just been selected in her first ever ParaMatildas squad.

Colley has a long and decorated high-performance history having represented Australia in athletics in the 2016 Rio Paralympics where she was the youngest athlete in the entire Australian contingent.

Colley also had the pleasure of being personally selected by Cathy Freeman to light the Olympic Cauldron on the 20th anniversary of the Sydney 2000 games.

The CommBank ParaMatildas laid the foundations for the 2023 Para Asian Cup this week with a three-day training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra from 19 - 21 May 2023.

It was the first time the CommBank ParaMatildas have come together since March’s announcement of the men’s and women’s 2023 IFCPF Asia-Oceania Championships (Para Asian Cup). The tournaments will take place at the world-class Home of the Matildas at La Trobe University in Melbourne from 31 October – 12 November 2023.
