Today was a true team effort as we faced a well-polished Dookie side. Everyone dug deep to slow their momentum.
Maddie Charlton stepped up into A-grade and slotted in seamlessly.
The defence worked tirelessly all game, applying pressure and testing their defensive skills against a strong attacking lineup.
The attacking end fed the ball well and a change in goals in the second half shook things up to bring a new dynamic to the circle.
