My name is Kayla Robson, I am 15 yrs of age and I absolutely love cricket! I am proud to say I was lucky enough to be selected in the 2023 Australian U16 World Series team that brought home Bronze.

I had such a fantastic time at the World Series and I would love to represent Australia again and this time try again for the Gold!

But first, I need to be selected!

I am proud to be once again representing NSW in two age groups, Under 18’s and Under 22’s. This comes at quite a heavy cost as there is no subsidies for representing both age groups and costs will likely exceed $5000.

I continue to play outdoor cricket with my community local club, Winston Hills. I also represent UTS North Sydney in the NSW Women’s Premier League, where I play 2nd Grade. I am fortunate enough to have a local sponsor - Hartford Partners who have supported me this season. We were recently named 2nd Grade Champions!

I would also like to thank RJR Sports for their continual sponsorship for Cricket Equipment. (Their bats are amazing!)

I have also been fortunate to be part of the New Green and Gold Athletes program run by Nat Cook OAM.

I live in NSW and there will be additional travel to trainings which will also add to the pre-tournament costs. My parents continue to support me and my two siblings to allow us to follow our dreams. My brother is currently representing U18 NSW Hockey team and my sister is representing the region in the U14 State Championships.

Please help me in raising the necessary funds to represent my state and once again allow me a chance to go for Gold and cross fingers - make the National team once again.

I am very excited to be part of the $1M Challenge, powered by Ampol. With the support of 5 time Olympian Nat Cook, I hope to achieve this goal.
