From the sidelines, the improvement was clear to see, but more importantly the girls felt it on the field.
Their ball movement is becoming more fluent, the defensive wall is getting stronger every week, and confidence is continuing to build across the team.
they’ve been trialling and adjusting plays to suit each player’s strengths and trialling kickers for different plays on the field; it’s great to see those changes starting to pay off.
A special mention to new recruits Emily, Lainey and Crystal who made an immediate impact in their first game.

The boys continue to show great signs of improvement as they build combinations and gel as a team.
The forwards were punching hard up the middle, laying a strong platform, while the backs worked hard to organise and execute their plays.
There were some incredibly strong runs across the park, and the boys managed to cross the try line multiple times, showing what they’re capable of when things click.
