The Dolphins Water Polo Club member has played Australian, state, national league (for the Melville Marlins) and club games since she was 13.
‘I’ve been talking to my coach about next year and I haven’t decided,’ Colliss said. ‘I love watching my boys play and I’d like to go in to a coaching role.’
