Freda says: “She is a gun footy player, takes the game on and she supports me all the time.” Courtney says: “Jamie-Lee is electric, [she has] great skills by foot and will always look to take the game on. Once she gets going, no-one can catch her.” Coles Health & Beauty CHB1121p027 27 27 5/25/2021 11:07:00 AM
