More than soccer: the Canungra girls never say die

Key points

• Many of the girls have played together since they were six and still attend the same team three times a week, despite now studying at four different high schools.
• The team has spent more than 100 hours each season training and travelling, with the players describing themselves as a group that stands by one another.
