Welsh has earned green and gold selection after playing a big role in CSU’s women’s sevens win.
Ag College had four representatives in the team that scored an impressive 27-5 win over University of Newcastle in the final. Welsh played alongside Harriet Elleman, Alice White and Laura Bennett in the tournament.
The team only came together for the first time 30 minutes before the first game but improved as the tournament went on to become the first team to get the better of Newcastle outfit in the game that matters most.
Elleman thought the team’s fitness helped the side come out on top.
“It was a bit of a longer game, it became 10-minute halves instead of seven-minutes,” Elleman said. Ag College entered a team in the Eastern University Games in Wagga before joining forces with CSU Bathurst.
