Parramatta Eels NRLW stars Kennedy Cherrington, Abbi Church, and Rory Owen have been selected for the 2025 Women's State of Origin series.
Cherrington and Church, both foundation members of the Eels' NRLW squad, have earned spots in the New South Wales Blues squad, while rookie Rory Owen will represent Queensland.
Cherrington's return to the Sky Blue jersey after a season-ending injury in 2024 adds strength and experience to the Blues pack.
Church's selection comes after a standout 2024 season where she won the Dally M Fullback of the Year award, marking her first-ever State of Origin call-up.
The trio's selection is a proud moment for both the players and the Eels, showcasing the club's growing influence in elite women's rugby league.
Game 1 of the State of Origin series is set for May 1 at Suncorp Stadium, where the trio will showcase their talent and continue to make their mark on the sport.
