Career edit

Senior national team edit

Kershaw made her senior international debut in a test series against Korea in September 2015.[3] Following her debut in September, Kershaw was part of the Australian team that won the 2015 Oceania Cup in October.[4]

In 2018, Kershaw was named in the Hockeyroos team to compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The team finished second, winning a silver medal after losing to New Zealand 4–1 in the final.[5] Kershaw was also a member of the Australian team at the 2018 World Cup, where the team finished in fourth place.[6]

Again in 2018, Kershaw also represented Australia at the Sompo Cup in Japan, and the Champions Trophy in China.[7]

Kershaw qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She was part of the Hockeyroos Olympics squad. The Hockeyroos lost 1–0 to India in the quarterfinals and therefore were not in medal contention.[8]
