ACE teenager’s remarkable run wins award
JEMIMA Blackmore’s remarkable scoring record has been recognised by Football Brisbane which named her the McDonald’s player of the Week.
Last night the 14-year-old central midfielder scored her 15th goal in five matches as ACE Under 16 Division 2 Girls drew 3-3 with Park Ridge at Wolter Park.
Jemima had previously scored all bar one of her team’s goals this season: 2 v Jimboomba, 6 v Logan, 4 v Capalaba, 2 v The Lakes. She also leads the division’s scoring charts.
The award citation said: “Jemima shows great team spirit and leadership and is a loyal ACE player with a great future in the sport.”
