Mrs SALLY QUINNELL (Camden) (20:22): I congratulate Nicole Christodoulou and the ParaMatildas, who recently competed in the 2023 International Federation of CP Football Para Asian Cup. Nicole is a wonderful staff member at Magdalene Catholic College in Narellan and competed with the ParaMatildas in the tournament. The ParaMatildas played four group matches, beating Japan 3-0 and Nepal 14‑0, with Nicole scoring five goals. The ParaMatildas then played Japan again, winning 4-2, with Nicole scoring a goal, before the team played Nepal again and won 6‑0. In the final Nicole played for 45 minutes, scoring another goal to add to her already impressive tally and helping the ParaMatildas win the final and clinch the tournament. After winning the final, the ParaMatildas were crowned tournament champions and Nicole was named Player of the Tournament—a monumental achievement and thoroughly deserved. Once again, congratulations to the ParaMatildas and Nicole for their outstanding achievement.
Nicole Christodoulou
