SATURDAY SCOREBOARD | PRACTICE MATCHES
Premier Women’s Update from Sean Buncle! The Premier side had a solid hitout in wet conditions against good oppositon. The team made the most of the opportunity to test the skills, mindset and work on developing our gamestyle. Another great step forward in our preparation for an exciting season ahead. BOR 4.4 to KAR 1.2 Goals: G Kavanagh 2, J Basse, C Smith.
Women’s Dev. Team Update from Greg Hall! Good last hit out for the Dev side against a similar opposition today. Tough conditions in the wet and handled it well with most of the footy in the middle or our Forward 50. Got some reward on the scoreboard for the hard work in preseason coming together. Looking forward to Round 1 now. BOR 2.4 to KAR 0.1 Goals: M Butler, L McLennan.
Masters Update from Danny Weston! The Masters took on The Basin, welcoming 9 new players to our team today, with 8 of those this being their first ever game of football.
