Natasha's big night at Roar verus Liverpool clash

MULTI-talented Ipswich teenager Natasha Ridley is used to scoring plenty of goals for her representative teams in football and futsal.

She's netted 15 goals already for Western Pride's under 14/15 National Premier Leagues team this season.

Natasha has also enjoyed success representing Queensland in futsal and has completed her refereeing accreditation.

However, the skilful striker played an exciting role of a different kind at last Friday night's Liverpool-Brisbane Roar match at Suncorp Stadium.

Natasha, 14, was a ball person on the sideline, experiencing the incredible atmosphere from close range.

She had performed similar roles in the A-League and W-League season.

However, Friday night was something special with Liverpool fans singing and chanting as only the most avid football supporters can.

"That was amazing,'' Natasha said.

"I had the best time of my life.

"I had the Liverpool players warming up in front of me and got to see Liverpool's last goal.

"The goal Roar scored was from my ball that I gave them.

"I am so happy to say that I was ball girl for the Roar vs Liverpool game tonight. I can't wait till next season.''

Until then, the St Peter Claver College student and sporting allrounder has plenty of fine memories to share.
