Skye has described it as an awesome experience.
Her team won four out of five games, with the last game being washed out halfway through.
Skye made the most of her opportunities, picking up two wickets (bowled and LBW) from the five overs she bowled for the week.
She only got to bat once, coming in at number eight, and made six not out.
The Riverina team came fifth out of the 14 NSW regions, with two of the girls making the state team.
Well done Skye on such a great effort. It sounds like an incredible experience.

The Tocumwal Race Club committee has been hard at work, taking the old running rail down ahead of installing a new one.
The Simtrack PVC railing project at Tocumwal Racecourse is a significant upgrade, as it enhances both horse and rider safety while improving the race club facilities.
The project will be finished in time for the 2025 Tocumwal Gold Cup meeting on Easter Saturday.

The children at Tocumwal’s Little Explorers are settling in for another great year of fun and learning.
A popular experience in the preschool room has been the Barbie doll and doll house area.
A centre spokesperson explained these are excellent for role playing and for enhancing fine motor skills using all the small and intricate parts.
Unfortunately, they are seriously lacking in the Barbie clothes department and are putting a call out to see if anyone has any Barbie clothing they may be willing to donate to the room.
This would be greatly appreciated.
If you have anything to donate, please drop it into the centre on a weekday.

The service has been prepared by the women of the Cook Islands, and their speaker will be Rev Gemma Le Mesurier.
While this worldwide annual service was once for women, it is now open to all.
Everyone is welcome, whether they are regular church attenders or not.
