Coach Roger Borg has been with the women’s team for four years now and this current core group of players has been playing together for the past seven years.
Our women’s team is focused on promotion into State League 1. They are one of the fittest sides in the competition and while they enjoy a win and eye off advancement, their main motivation to play resides in team loyalty, passion and creating community.
The women’s team fundraises throughout the season for their chosen charity – Backpacks 4 VIC Kids. For information visit their website by clicking HERE.
