Early life
Born in Lismore, New South Wales,[1] and raised in nearby Alstonville,[2] Redmayne was the youngest of three
children, and became a cricketer at an early age.[3] She played backyard cricket against her elder brother,[4] and
her dentist father was a local coach who encouraged girls to play for boys' teams.[3][5] In February 2005, she
caused a stir when she took a double hat-trick (four wickets in four deliveries) for the Alstonville Maroon
Under-12s. By then, she had already represented North Coast PSSA cricket team in two State carnivals;[4] she
later played NSW State underage cricket in the Under-15s, Under-17s, and Under-18s.[6]

While a student at Alstonville High School, Redmayne played for Combined High Schools. She broke almost
every CHS girls' cricket batting record, won player of the carnival in her final two school years, and captained
the CHS Firsts. At the age of 16, she and her father played mens second grade together.[3] In 2012, after gaining
an ATAR score of 99.75, she took a gap year, organised by Stan Gilchrist, one of her coaches and father of
former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, to play cricket for Worcestershire in England.[5] In her first
innings on English soil, she scored a century.[3]

New South Wales Breakers

In August 2014, Redmayne was added to the New South Wales Breakers squad for the 201415 season.[7] She
made her Women's National Cricket League debut for the Breakers in the 201415 WNCL Final.[6]

In the 201516 season, playing for Universities in the McDonalds Sydney Womens Grade competition,
Redmayne won the First Grade Player of the Year award. With a batting aggregate for the regular season of 656
runs at an average of 82.00, she scored nearly 200 runs more than the next best batter, and she was also part of
the Universities team that won the Club Championship.[8] However, she was denied more exposure to top-class
cricket in NSW because of the presence of Australian 'keeper Alyssa Healy,[3][9] to whom she was deputy.[10]

Tasmanian Roar and Hobart Hurricanes

In May 2016, Redmayne, who had been contemplating retirement, was recruited by Tasmanian Roar for the
201617 WNCL season.[3] The Roar's coach, Julia Price, told The Examiner that Redmayne would be able to
assist the Roar's captain and vice-captain with field settings and tactics, and strengthen the batting order.[10] In
July 2016, Redmayne also joined Hobart Hurricanes for its WBBL|02 campaign.[11]

Redmayne's move from the Breakers to the Roar soon paid off spectacularly. In October 2016, she became the
first player for Tasmania to hit a WNCL century, which helped the Roar to a thrilling final-ball win against the
ACT Meteors. She was immediately rewarded with an embrace by her 87-year-old grandfather, who had been
watching the game and vaulted the fence in his excitement.[3]

The following month, Redmayne backed up that effort with a 116-run score against Western Fury; the Roar also
won that match, by six wickets.[12] Redmayne finished the 201617 season as the fourth-highest run scorer of
the WNCL competition, with 295 runs in six matches at an average of 59. She also took three catches and made
seven stumpings.[3][9] In the ensuing WBBL|02 tournament, she took seven catches, made five stumpings and
scored 278 runs at an average of 23.[3] In March 2017, she was named in the Shooting Stars squad for its
MarchApril 2017 tour of Sri Lanka.[13]

Personal life
Off the field, Redmayne is a medical student at the University of New South Wales,[3][2][6] and hopes to pursue a
career in sports medicine.[14] In 2013, she won the Bradman Foundation's Bradman Scholarship,[15] and in 2016,
UNSW awarded her a Ben Lexcen Sports Scholarship.[16] Redmayne has "always been interested in anatomy,
body systems and recovery from injury and disease", and "as a rural student [she is] passionate about addressing
health inequities in rural and remote Australia".[2]
