As Ali Brigginshaw walks through the gates of her junior rugby league club, Norths Tigers in Ipswich, there's a sense of familiarity in the air.
The same field signed Keith Sternberg Oval, the same Clubhouse heavy with history and memorabilia and the same photo of her father, Larry Brigginshaw, hanging on the walls.
It has been many years since Brigginshaw played her first rugby league game in Tigers colours, but the memories come flooding back.
She fondly remembers the early days playing with, and against the boys, when her love for the game was as simple and fierce as it is now.
