Farmborough Heights teenager Julia Fellows is looking forward to representing Australia at the International Baseball Federation Women's World Cup at Matsuyama, Japan, this month.

Fellows, 19, will join her team-mates in a training camp in Sydney on Monday before leaving for Japan on Wednesday for the tournament from August 24 to 29.

Fellows will have her family entourage of parents, Rhys and Elisa, and twin sister, Romi, to support her.

Playing in Japan where baseball is a major sport is something she is eagerly anticipating.

"It will be great because they are so into baseball," Fellows said this week.

"I'm looking forward to having a good time and playing some really good baseball, that's the main goal, to play good baseball.

"But then after that, hopefully a little bit of a holiday. It will be good to have the family support too."

The World Cup favourites will be host nation Japan and the United States.

Fellows will be making her second appearance in the national team following her selection to play at the Women's World Cup in 2006.

Fellows was chosen after her performances at the Australian Women's Baseball Championships in Wollongong last Easter.

A member of the Country NSW team that finished fourth at the national championships, Fellows was prominent in the tournament statistics.

Playing mostly at catcher, she compiled a .407 batting average with an outstanding 72.5 on base percentage (.725 OBP).

A product of the Illawarra Junior Baseball League who passed her HSC at Illawarra Sports High School last year and is now a student at the University of Wollongong, Fellows has been playing representative baseball for several years.

Julia and Romi were instrumental in the Greenway club winning the 2007-08 Sydney Women's League first grade premiership.

Julia caught all of the grand final game while Romi pitched for five innings.

In winter Julia and Romi play with the men in the Dapto Chiefs second grade team in the Illawarra Baseball League.
