Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Portia Ronsberg
The VAFA congratulates Portia Ronsberg who has received the round 5 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star nominee after her performance on the weekend. Portia kicked 2 goals and was named amongst the best as MCC routed UHS-VU to the tune of 51 points.
What the club said:
Portia is playing her first season with MCC as a year 12 student. She has slotted into the team seamlessly and had an immediate impact to earn the Round 5 VAFA Rising Star nomination.
A measured and composed forward/mid, Portia had her best game for the club in Round 5, getting plenty of the ball and executing set shot goals in slippery conditions to make it look easy. Portia has very clean skills, knows where to position herself and reads the play brilliantly.
Portia is looking forward to working further on her craft, improving her fitness and spending more time as a midfielder.
The Club is excited about Portia’s future and developing other emerging female footballers in a fun and inclusive environment.
