U14 Eastern Ranges Girls Football

The footy season for the under 14 girls did not finish with the Grand Final this season.  Eastern Ranges ran a training program for players selected for their performances throughout the year, and Wantirna College had 6 girls selected from their various local clubs.

The girls spent four afternoons at the end of Term 3 training alongside 44 other players and then completed two full practice matches during the school holidays.  

These six girls, alongside the other outstanding players that are enrolled at Wantirna College will certainly be a great challenge to other schools in the girls football competition in 2023. 

Congratulations to (L to R): Emma Freyer, Isabelle Nealy, Maddison Hill, Scout Semple, Sophia Green and Kaitlyn Kos.
