We have a very small number of teenage girls actively competing at a high enough level for an event such as this. I recall that 4 girls we wanted to represent us were unable to take up their places or to be considered, mostly due to important prelim exams and first year uni studies.
Did you have the same trouble with the boys you wanted to play? (I understand that there is a bigger pool of boys being considered for these events, just wondering if there was any gender difference here?)
