Congratulations to physie girl Sophie Murphy from Brisbane Water United club who was nominated for an Australia Day Community Award in two categories: “Youth” and “Sport”.
Sophie is only 10 years old and has been doing physie for just 4 years, making the semi finals at the National Championships twice as well as being in winning teams for her club.
