The VAFA congratulates Ellen Williams from Old Melburnians on receiving the Round 5 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star nomination for her 2-goal best-on-ground performance against Marcellin on the weekend.
What the club said:
Ellen graduated from Loreto Mandeville last year and this is her first year at the club. As soon as she arrived in December for pre season her skills were on show! Ellen played Auskick growing up but stopped when she was 14 only picking up footy again this year.
Ellen is a very diligent and hard working player who gets to training early to work on her skills as well stay late. Happy to play anywhere on the ground and is very much a team player even giving away a certain goal in round 4 to try and get it to a player celebrating her 50th game (Izzy rankine-ward). Sign of a very good player is making those around them better and something she has in spades.
The Coach of the Old Melburnians Omelette’s, Yoxford Rous, said: “Ellen has fitted in seamlessly at the Old Melburnians demonstrating the values of hard work, selflessness and courage that the girls and boys have created at the club.”
