Match after match, tournament after tournament, practice ball after practice ball has seen the year 10 student at Blayney High School go from strength to strength, and this week she’s heading interstate with a selection of the state’s finest.

Dimity is one of, if not the youngest, player in the inaugural Sydney Thunder girls side, and she will be one of the speed bowlers to take the fight to the Hobart Hurricanes in the Indigenous T20 Cup over the next three days.

A proud Wiradjuri/Gamilaroi woman, Parton is keen to get onto the pitch and hammer down a few overs against her Tasmanian counterparts.

“I really enjoy getting out there with friends and playing the game that I love,” she said.

What is also inspiring her is the opportunity to be a role model for her peers.

“I’m really looking forward to playing for and representing my culture,” she said.

It’s not the first time that Dimity has represented her culture either.

in Alice Springs in February she took part in the Imparja Cup, the National Indigenous Cricket Championships.

When she plays in Orange she struts out for two teams, both the under 15’s and the seniors for Orange City.

Classing herself as a fast bowler, Dimity’s finest round was a stunning 5/10 against Kinross.

Of course, like all great cricketers there’s one goal that every one of them aspires to.

“I’d really like to play for Australia one day,” she said.

For that to happen Dimity believes that the matches in Hobart will be of utmost importance.

“I think that there might be some selectors there and if I do well enough there is a chance that I can move on,” she said.
