Local Darfield girl Maddy Judd (14) has been a force to be reckoned with on the rugby field since she was eight years old. Maddy first started playing rugby for Sheffield Sharks in the Under 8 grade. At the start of Year 9, she went to boarding school at Craighead in Timaru and played in the Under 15 as well as playing for Sheffield Under 13 teams. Maddy was recognised for her talent and strength, and at the end of the first term this year, while in Year 10, she transferred to Christchurch Girls High determined to play in the 1st XV team. She achieved what she set out to do and had a successful season with her school team, playing in the number one (prop) position. The team won the Mid Canterbury 2023 Under 18 Girls Series in July. They also recently won the Miles Toyota Final against Avonside Girls 74-5 and on August 19 played in the South Island final against Southland, winning 27-12, which qualified the team for the NZSS National

September 24-26 at NGA Puna Wai. To add to her long list of team selections, Maddy has also been selected for the U17 Waitaha Kohine (Canterbury Māori). A lot of time and dedication is required to compete at this level and Maddy is having to do early morning runs, team trainings, specialised position trainings and look after her own well-being. Maddy says the time and effort is worthwhile and has enjoyed being part of supportive teams who encourage each other to give it their all. “This season has been the most enjoyable learning experience for me. I have been in an environment that has provided great culture,
coaches with a wide range of experience and getting the best advice from some of our Canterbury/Black Fern players. Being at the Top 4 was another highlight as it allowed me to play against some quality rugby players and has shown me the commitment required to achieve goals and given me the best mindset of moving forward next year. “It was an amazing feeling pulling on the red and black Canterbury jersey for the first time”. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my past and present coaches and supporters, especially my family.” The team at the News look forward to following her future endeavours.
