Kennedy Cherrington has shared her deep connection to the State of Origin through a meaningful photo she chose for the inside cover of the sports journal she created while recovering from a knee injury.
The image, taken when she was just two years old with an NSW Origin ball, symbolizes her longstanding passion for the Origin series.
After being sidelined for eight months, Cherrington published this journal before her recall to the Westpac NSW Blues Women's team for the series opener on Thursday night at Suncorp Stadium.
Cherrington's determination and enthusiasm for the game have not gone unnoticed.
New Blues coach John Strange expressed his desire for her energy on the bench, especially after she was overlooked for last year's inaugural three-match Women's State of Origin.
This personal journey and connection to Origin reflect her commitment to the sport and the significance it holds in her life.
