Reason you came to Lindfield: I wanted to keep playing after high school but none of my friends did, then I found out that the club was starting a womenâs team and needed players, plus my dad use to play at the club and made his closest friends so i came to training barley knowing anyone.
Favourite Lindfield memory: I think if I had to pick one thing it would be in the 2nd season of legacy we played a 7âs comp at Boronia park, and almost all the boys came from their game to watch us play, so by the end of the tournament we had a tent over flowing with lindfield players. Compared to the other tents that only had the players. The amount of girls from other clubs who came over to us that tournament to say how happy it made them to have a crowd and that their clubs boys teams would never do that for them is something I have always remember and I think is a clear show of how lindfield have championed this team of women no matter our results. Since then I donât think Iâve been to a tournament or game where if the boys can be there they are.
A huge congratulations to Gemma on reaching the incredible milestone of 100 games for the club, becoming the first Legacy player to join a long list of Lindfield centurions.
Gemma has been part of the Legacy since its inception, playing a vital role in helping build the foundations of the team. The early years were incredibly challenging, with players learning the game for the first time, while often facing strong and experienced opposition week after week and often on different days and away from the rest of the club. Through it all, Gemma showed remarkable resilience, continually working to improve her skills and develop her understanding of the game.
A natural leader, Gemma has consistently led by example, demonstrating a strong rugby IQ and helping guide those around her both on and off the field. Her commitment to the club extends far beyond match day, having contributed in numerous off-field roles over the years. This dedication and willingness to serve wherever needed have been invaluable to the growth and success of the club.
Reaching 100 games is a testament to Gemma's perseverance, leadership, and unwavering commitment. We thank her for everything she has given to the club and the womenâs game in general, and congratulate her on this outstanding achievement. The success of the Legacy squad is built off players like Gemma.

Gemma, The âQueen Gâ
What an amazing journey your first 100 games have been, from wins and losses, injuries and triumphant returns and most of all, taking a seat at the table as one of our Tik-tok stars. Your passion for this club, and Legacy team are infectious, and one of the biggest reasons we both came back this year.
The work you put in behind the scenes to ensure the Legacy are running smoothly is a full time job, nobody would fault you for taking a full year while recovering from your injury, but instead you have a surgery and a month later you make a full return to the field taking on Waverley. Brave as hell, compassionate, and always ready with an obscure internet reference that we donât understand. You are such a well deserved recipient of the 100 games honour, and sharing a space on the 100 Games board is an honour for us.
