Naughton McCarthy’s very own Maddison Borg debuts next week as coach of Basketball Queensland’s Women’s Team in the national Ivor Burge Championships, for players with intellectual disabilities, to be held in Geelong.
Speaking with Brisbane’s Courier Mail, Maddie said : “This is huge for Queensland. I am aware that Basketball Queensland have been working incredibly hard to build their inclusion pathways, not only for ID athletes, but also for indigenous athletes and for the Rollers (wheelchair basketball) … a lot of my girls really don’t know how good they are… we are ready to show we are a force to reckoned with.”
In her characteristic modesty Maddie omits to mention that she has been the big driver in recruitment of players, fund raising , training and getting together tne players’ kit so that they look the goods - all the while working full-time as a Family Law solicitor.
Maddie - we are proud of you. Best of luck for the Championships . Go the Maroon gals !
