England play South Africa in today's 3rd/4th place after a mixed U20s National Championship but one with lots of positives on and off the field. The ladies have stepped up the intensity with every game on the field and they have inspired a generation off of it. The Melbourne Minxes have been there at every game cheering the ladies on and with each game the Minxes have become more passionate about what the future could hold for them. Every player has the dream of wearing the red rose but having it so close, at Trent College, brings them closer than imagined.
The Minxes would like to wish all the ladies good luck today and wish those playing their last game today good luck for the future.
