More honours have also been bestowed on the 14 year olds in being selected in the Western NSW Under 14 squad which will contend the State Titles at the Mudgee Football complex in September.
Tayla and Chloe are no strangers to these representative honours as it is their third year in a row in being selected for Western NSW and the Western NSW Mariners squads.
The girls turn out locally with the Lithgow City Rangers Club of a Saturday and are real inspirations to the dozens of young girls who are spread throughout the local competition age divisions with many on hand to lend their support to the talented duo.
In their first game, they were up against a determined Sydney Olympic outfit with both Chloe and Tayla displaying their strength and skills much to the pleasure of home town crowd.
They played some great football and provided the core of their Under 15’s side 3-0 win.
Their next game was on Sunday, with the girls having the pleasure of playing on their club ground at Rangers Park Lidsdale against another Sydney Club Inter Lions.
Both Chloe and Tayla again showed their many skills with Tayla assisting in setting up two goals for her side by passing the ball perfectly behind the opposition's defences and having a team mate running away with the ball and slotting the ball into the back of the net.
Chloe continues to improve every game and grow in strength and statue after recently returning from a six week football injury with her strong tackling defences called upon on various times throughout the game.
It was another win for the girls with a 3-2 victory.
Tayla is currently the leading goal scorer in the Premier League and has been rewarded for her efforts for the season by also being selected in the squad for the Mariners reserves.
These games are played two hours after the conclusion of her Under 15’s match and faces the challenge of playing against experienced women in the Premier league that are sometimes twice her age.
At the completion of round 17 with four rounds remaining in the Under 15’s, the girls are currently in fourth position and looking good for a semi final berth.
The girls are the daughters of Rea and Chris Anlezark and Nigal and Nicol Lloyd.
