03.01.2022 Womens Update!! Our women have had great numbers on the track this season with a great group of new players hoping majority of our group from last season. With plenty of faces on the track each week we have been able to put plenty more drills to the test this preseason. A fortnight ago they had their first hit out for the season playing at home against Meander Valley Suns. It was a very competitive game in regards to skill and physicality and our women seriously impressed t...heir coaches just coming out on top. With 7 first time players and 2 past juniors playing their first senior game there were plenty of positives on show. We hit the scoreboard numerous times and had plenty of link ups down the ground throughout the game. There was even some great sportsmanship on show with our ladies lending two new players each quarter to the opposition and it was great to see no one backed down even if they had to take on their own teammate. Tomorrow our ladies will have their second hit out for the year at home against Wynyard at 10am. If youve got no plans before the Relive the Rivalry day at Penguin, grab a coffee and head down to watch them in action, theyd love your support. Timmy & Toddy are more than impressed so far and looking forward to watching the group grow over the next few months.
