Published 3 years, 2 months ago
Description
When Cathy Neap was growing up in the Papua New Guinean Province of Enga, girls weren’t supposed to speak up, let alone kick around a footy.
But she made it her mission to prove that if the boys could play rugby, she could too.
Cathy eventually led PNG’s first national women’s NRL team to the 2017 World Cup and the side earned respect from across the country.
