Under 15s Lily Palmer standing tall in defense.
This week the side welcomed two new girls to the team from Howlong- Audrey and Lily. Audrey was able to assist Milly O in the defence end and both worked hard all game pulling in rebounds and turnovers sending it back down to the attack end.
Down in attack this week there was lots of options and shooting combinations. Standing tall, Eloise was supported by Alisha and Lily. With a massive 50 goal haul to the losing team is still a great effort and something for the girls to be proud of.

Under 15s
Roos 22 defeated by Rovers 40
The youngest Roos started off very well against the Rovers, with the defensive end working hard from the get go. The attacking end were also very lively, with Rahni Dickens and Keeley Symonds working well together to set up our shooters.
Unfortunately, after half time, they lost a little momentum and the Rovers started to edge forward on the scoreboard. Even though the girls never gave up trying all day, the Rovers were too strong in the end. The Roos look forward to their first home game of the year this week.
Awards:
Club 1 - Keeley Symonds worked hard in the mid court. Driving well and feeding the shooters
Sportspower- Laila Vandermeer moved in the ring well with both Mim and Sienna and was consistent with her shooting
