Melbourne: Goan girl selected for Victorian state Girls Cricket team
August 14, 2009
Melbourne, Australia
Yolanne Amor Carvalho, 13, a school girl from Good Samaritan Catholic School,
Roxburgh Park, Victoria, Australia, secured her place in the Victorian Primary
Schools State Girls cricket squad for 2009. Proud to be the first Goan to be
selected in the squad of 16 and cricket being her passion, Yolanne is also a
great
admirer of Lorna and Sachin Tendulkar and met both at their residence in Bombay
during her Christmas holidays 2008/2009.
Being part of a large Goan community here in Melbourne and making all Goans
feel
proud in Goa and around the world, Yolanne is a daughter of well known
personality
Mario Carvalho & Cherylanne (Chinky) Carvalho, from Madel Pequeno, Margao Goa
and
also a cousin of Valerie Carvalho who represented Goa Juniors Girl Soccer team
2009.
Though her season bowling career best is 5/5 and winning the coaches award
while
performing for the Roxburgh Park Cricket club boys U-12 which lost the Grand
final
by one run this year, hopes of being the best all rounder for the current state
cricket tournament which is held at Brisbane and also dreams of representing
the
Australia womens Cricket team in the near future.
The Sport Australia Championships will be held in January 2010 in Toowoomba,
Australia (ENDS)
