Success Stories

Celebrating the success of Jemma Catherwood, former-OJFC player (February 2020)

Jemma is an emerging talent in Wellington Women’s Football who has caught the eye of national selectors.  Jemma starting her football career with Onslow playing nursery grade in 2009, and progressed through the GOSL and mixed grades until 2017, when she was Onslow female player of the Year.  Jemma played for teams including the Awaruas, Orissas and Karamus. Years of hard work on and off the football field have paid off for Jemma – and the last 12 months have been incredible for her:

  • Selected to attend the NZ U17 Talent Identification Camp in April and October 2019;
  • Selected for the Capital EliteTraining Programme in 2019 and 2020;
  • Selected in the NZ Squad for Oceania Football Confederation U16 Women’s Championship;
  • Attended the Gothia World Youth Cup in Sweden with the Wellington United Diamonds;
  • Named as the Capital Football Women’s Premier Player of the Year 2019;
  • Selected for both the Capital Football Women’s Football and Futsal teams;
  • Wellington Girls College Footballer of the Year 2019, Futsal Player of the Year 2019, and Junior Futsal Player of the year in 2018.

Jemma is currently in Year 12 at Wellington Girls College, where she plays for their 1st XI and Fustal Senior A team, and also played for the 2019 Wellington United Diamonds in the Women’s Premier League.

Looking ahead – Jemma is playing for the NZ U17 team in Tahiti at the Under-17 Oceania Football Confederation Qualifiers in April.  The NZ Under 17 Women’s World Cup is being held in November this year in India, and Jemma is working hard to push for selection if NZ qualify.  Jemma is also working towards a football scholarship in the USA after completing year 13 in 2021.
