Last weekend saw some great football played amongst the Girls teams. Below are match summaries from the five teams which compete for premiership points.

Under 12s

From time to time our Under 12s Girls teams, made up of players aged between 9-12 years,  come up against teams which have a number of girls that are 12 + years old, as some clubs, do not have an Under 14s team for these girls to play up in. This was the situation for our Under 12s teams last week who came up against bigger and stronger girls on the weekend. Both teams never gave up, against the odds, and coach Jane and Allan were impressed with their resilience. Jane’s team scored 6 point and lost to Mitcham whilst and Allan’s team lost to Flinders Park.
