Indi debuts for Rebels
CAMPERDOWN’S Indi Cameron made her debut for the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in the under 18 Coates Talent League competition last Sunday.
Playing against the Dandenong Stingrays at Ballarat’s Mars Stadium, the Rebels were defeated 8.10.58 to 4.4.28.
For Indi, her rise through the ranks has come rapidly.
Sunday was just her seventh game of football.
“It was a bit of a surprise, I’d only been to a couple of trainings,” she said.
The talented young footballer, who plays locally for Terang Mortlake, played as a forward for the Rebels and noticed the step up.
“The pace of the game was a lot different to playing for Terang Mortlake, Dandenong was really fast,” she said.
While Indi has continued to leave her mark on the netball courts, playing in Camperdown’s Open and under 17 teams, she is fast finding her feet on the football field and is enjoying her new sport.
“Terang Mortlake’s under 18 girls coach Kelvin Bell had been at me for a while to play, I’ve really enjoyed it.”
With one game left in the season for the Rebels, Indi is hopeful of getting another start.
“If I get to play the next round I feel I’ll be better prepared and know what to expect.”
