🏐✨ Winter Season 2024 Wrap-Up: A Proud Finish for the Blue Team ✨🏐

The Blue team fought valiantly tonight, giving it their all but just couldn’t hold on in the end. Despite closing the gap to within 2 goals with only 5 minutes to go, Lilydale proved too strong, finishing with a 34 to 25 win over Glen Waverley FNC.

Brie was outstanding as Captain, showing incredible versatility by defending in goals for two quarters before switching to wing attack and making a huge impact. Our goalers, Kate B and Cath, faced a tough and physical battle under the ring, but they fought hard every step of the way.

In the center court, Britt, Ash, and Emma worked tirelessly to move the ball with speed and precision. Kate C was sharp in defense, reading the play like a pro and intercepting with finesse. She and Cas, who played her last game for the club, formed a solid defensive duo. We’ll miss you, Cas—enjoy retirement!

We now take a well-earned break before our Club AGM/Dinner on Saturday, October 5th. Tickets are available online, so be sure to grab yours and join us in celebrating an incredible season.

🏐✨ Semi-Final Thriller: Glen Waverley FNC Edges Out Vermont!✨🏐

What a game! In a nail-biting 1st Semi-Final, Glen Waverley FNC pulled off a heart-stopping victory over Vermont, winning by just one point—28 to 27!

It was a slow start, but our team quickly settled in and took control. Emma was an absolute standout in wing defense, shutting down plays left and right. Ash played a fantastic game through the center court, keeping the momentum strong and the ball moving. With late withdrawals from Jess and Cas, the team had to dig deep with no bench to fall back on, but our 7 players rose to the challenge.

The play down the court was lightning-fast, with Britt firing bullet-like passes into the goal circle. Kate B and Cath worked seamlessly under the ring, while Kate C and Brie were rock-solid in defense. Emma, as always, read the play like a book, making crucial interceptions.

Next week, we face Lilydale at Knox for a spot in the grand final! Let’s bring the same energy and support to push our team all the way to the top!

🏐✨ Final Home and Away Season Wrap-Up: Yellow and Blue Teams Finish Strong! ✨🏐

Yellow Team Highlights:

What a finish to the season for our Yellow team! With everyone on deck except for Charlotte (get well soon, Char!), the girls pulled off a fantastic win against Kilsyth, with a final score of 42 to 30. The game started strong with an 11 to 4 lead, though the second quarter was a bit tighter at 17 to 16. The team rallied back in the third, extending the lead to 29 to 23, and finished strong with a final score of 42 to 30. It was a tough and physical game, especially for our shooters, with both Kilsyth defenders sent off in the last 3 minutes. The Yellow team may be wrapping up their season, but they’ll be there next week to cheer on the Blue team in their finals campaign!

Blue Team Highlights:

The Blue team finished the regular season with a bang, securing a dominant win against Blackburn, 34 to 7. With a full squad ready to go, everyone stepped up in a big way. Cas and Kate C were outstanding, keeping Blackburn scoreless in the third quarter, while the defenders held them to just 7 scoring shots for the entire game. Kath and Kate B were on fire, shooting an incredible 15 goals in that third quarter alone! This win sets the stage for the finals, where we’ll be giving it everything we've got.

A family affair to remember! ❤️

Down the other end, Cody and her sister were a defensive dream team, moving in perfect sync. Jemma's anticipation skills were top-notch, deflecting three goal attempts!

Charlotte absolutely owned the wing defense, putting on one of her best performances yet. She executed the coach's halftime advice flawlessly—well done, Char!
