All Stars line up sure to test White Sox
Sunday December 19th

The selection panel for the world All Stars side to play in the New Zealand 
Community Trust Women's Series in Christchurch next month have brought 
together an imposing list of names.

Fronting up with international class pitcher Zara Mee and Megan Farrell of 
Australia along with Katie Newman from the United States the All Stars team 
will prove tough opposition for the New Zealand Community Trust White Sox 
and Japanese Under 23 team during the tri series at Smokefree Ballpark, 
Christchurch from January 14th to 16th.

All Stars coach Wayne Nichols is more than happy with the class of players 
in his side which brings together five Australians, three players from 
America, five New Zealanders and one player each from Japan and South Africa.

"We will be a strong team and we will present a good challenge for both the 
Japanese and the White Sox. All the overseas players are of a high standard 
and the New Zealand players are all past members of the White Sox so they 
have international experience," said Nichols.

For the New Zealand players selected in the All Stars team the series is a 
chance to push there case for re selection in the White Sox team. Nichols 
believes all five Kiwis in his team will have a point to prove to the New 
Zealand selectors.

With such a list in international class players Nichols says the team are 
definitely going to Christchurch to win.

ALL STARS TEAM:
Zara Mee (Australia), Megan Farrell (Australia), Katie Newman (United 
States), Dannica White (Australia), Jaimie Wohlbach (United States), Bianca 
Novelli (South Africa), Danni Hanna (Australia), Kate Quigley (Australia), 
Melissa Gomez (United States), Lisa Kersten (New Zealand), Angela Stubbs 
(New Zealand), Atsuko Tanaka (Japan), Melanie Hulme (New Zealand), Brooke 
Lockhart (New Zealand), Katie Hetherington (New Zealand).
