NSW Rugby League said on Thursday afternoon it was pleased to announce the representative squads for both the men's and women's under 19s Blues, who will face Queensland at Leichhardt Oval on June 23.
Both matches will be broadcast on the Nine Network and FOX Sports, with the teams representing the next generation of rugby league stars progressing through the pathways system.
NSWRL said it was the first time pathways games have been played for both the men's and women's teams after the last two years were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It said the importance of representative pathways teams was reflected in the NSW Blues and Sky Blues selected for the Origin series this season.
The NSW Sky Blues squad named for the women's State of Origin in Canberra on June 24 includes former pathways players Teagan Berry, Filomina Hanisi, Olivia Kernick and Caitlan Johnston.
Here's hoping Dummett will soon join that list.
She impressed at the National Championships for NSW Country Under 19s, playing every minute her side was on the field.
She scored a try in just the first minute of the first game, and in game two was flagged as having run the most metres of both sides.
The run-on teams to play the Under 19s State of Origin will be announced at a later date.
