From formation to A-Grade: Old Geelong Women’s makes history
Old Geelong Football Club opened its 2025 season in historic fashion, with its women’s side marking their first year in the William Buck Premier competition with two wins straight out
12 goals to one in the opening half paved the way for Old Geelong to a monster 104-point victory over Old Ivanhoe at Como Park. 36 scoring shots to seven showcased the Ogs desire to return to the winners’ list after a disappointing one-point loss to Hampton Rovers last week. Callum Wood (four) and Jock Grimshaw (four) led the way in front of goal for Ogs, while Edward Keach (one) starred in a BOG display. They now sit in fifth spot on the ladder after three wins from their past five starts. Carl Groth (three) played a lone hand for the Hoers as they failed to deliver in a match they would have expected a better showing. They are eighth on the ladder with three wins but a percentage of 72.31.
In other Round 7 games, Caulfield continued their high-scoring ways with a 74-point victory over Marcellin, while Old Mentonians snapped a three-game losing streak and defeated Old Camberwell by 25 points. Seven goals from John Nicolopoulos led Old Haileybury to a dominant 91-point win over Hampton Rovers at Princes park Caulfield, and Kew showcased their best football for the year but came up short against Williamstown CYMS by 33 points.
