1. Def Brookside College 33-25

2. Lost to Good News Lutheran College 26-43

The girls tried hard but were outplayed by a couple of very good teams. It was hard for them with 2 girls withdrawing from the team 2 days beforehand. We found two Yr 7 volunteers to cover them so we had a couple of subs, then 2 others missed the bus on the day - so pretty hard on the girls who played and gave their all.

Year 7 Team

Back row – Achan, Brodie, Nelly, Ella, Chloe, Mikayla

Front row – Dylan (coach) Nicole.

Year 8 Team Back row - Maddy, Margret and Zoe Front Row – Dylan (coach) Ataahua, Trinity and Eva

A wonderful effort by our girls. Really proud of their efforts and the way they played all the games.

Melton def Southern Cross Grammar 36-9, def Hoppers Crossing 41-29 and def Strathmore 40-14 to make the final.

Region Final – Maribyrnong 33 def Melton 14 – a fabulous, high intensity, physical game – Maribyrnong were made to really earn this win and we forced them to play their best team for most of the game. They had too much height and depth, but our girls gave them a ripper game. The scores do not indicate how good this game was.

Team was – (back) Achan, Brodie, Nelly, Ella, Mikayla, Chloe, Mikayla and (front) coach Dylan and Nicole.
