At the age of just 17, she made her Boccia UK debut in style, finishing fourth in the female BC3 category at the World Boccia Poznan Challenger in August 2022.

She also competed as an individual and as part of the BC3 Pair at the first ever 2023 European Para Championships. 2023 was a brilliant year for Sally in which she beat World Champion Ana Costa at the Zagreb Challenger, and European Champion Sonia Heckel at the Heraklion Challenger.

Away from boccia, Sally is a keen musician and has performed with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Resound ensemble and the National Open Youth Orchestra.

She hopes to study music at Bristol in September.
