Coach Keith Hanley says:
"Lili was an instrumental part of our middle in providing direction in the Tarsha Gale Cup. She would have numerous repeat efforts, often leading the tackle count and running well over 100 metres per game. Lili is a local Northern Beaches prodigy and epitomizes the Manly Way. She is an excellent player/person with a top notch work ethic."
