Tamworth's Jess Davidson and Lara Graham, and Armidale's Jackson Gwynne have all been named in ACT/NSW Country sides for their upcoming National Championship campaigns.
Gwynne will head to Perth in December as the male under-19s side attempt to defend their title, while Davidson and Graham will suit up for the female under-18s side in Tasmania in January.
The latter was finalised following the recent NSW Country Championships at Maitland where Central North finished fifth. Davidson and Graham were earlier this year part of the ACT/NSW Country side that made the final in both the T20 and 50-over competitions, ultimately falling just short of the silverware.
Central Coast batter Grace Dignam, who captained ACT/NSW Country to the under-15s national title in 2018 will lead the side.
