Tantalising because she hopes to be there competing in the green and gold of Australia’s Hockeyroos.

To be any chance of being part of the 2016 Olympic Games, Lee must first impress on a domestic level.

Currently based in Sydney, Lee has been doing everything in her power to make sure her performances in this year’s Australian Hockey League (AHL) competition – to be played at the end of October – get her noticed. She is a member of the NSW Arrows squad.

A junior Australian representative, Lee has spent the last five years training full-time with the New South Wales Institute of Sport, while also making an annual pilgrimage to New Zealand to play for Southern in their national league.

Lee is yet to make a final decision about what hockey she will ultimately play this season, but is leaning towards a third stint with Southern.

“They [Southern] approached me to be one of two internationals to play and help boost their team,” Lee said.

“It’s good for my self development and preparation for the AHL, which is my main focus right now.”

Having a successful AHL season is what Lee hopes it will earn her a place in the Australian development squad.

“It’s my main aim and if it doesn’t happen, I will keep trying,” she said.

“The Olympics are always in the back of my mind, but I need to take one step at a time.”

Lee represents the Briars in the Sydney league, but when it comes to the annual Hockey NSW open women’s championships she is not afraid to come back to her roots.

Last week she helped Bathurst secure the coveted title.

“It was good to see familiar faces. Division one is mostly Sydney based teams, I think it’s good for a country team to win,” she said.

“We started shaky, but we listened to Mandy [George, coach] and each other and worked on each game and improved.

“We had strong players all over the field and no weak links.”

Bathurst has only taken the top flight championship once before. That was in 2007.

“I’m very happy. It’s been a long time since Bathurst has been in the final,” Lee said.

Bathurst coach Mandy George was more than thrilled to have the win on her resume, her side beating Campbelltown 1-0 in the decider. She acknowledged Lee’s presence was an important part of the success.

“Only one other coach has taken Bathurst to this title,” George said. “These players came back from all around the world to play in this tournament. The confidence and maturity to adapt to one another on and off the field showed.”

As well as winning the title, Bathurst had goalkeeper Karen Fieldus earn a place in the NSW Open Country team, Kelsey Willott, Esther Hotham, Jessica Watterson and Keely Hunter named in the 2013 NSW under 21s squad and both Jessica and Sarah Watterson picked in the state under 18s squad for next year.

But for Lee, her current representative goal is set higher.
