Tigers and Cobras produce large winning margins, as Monash still hold top spot

Tigers and Cobras produce large winning margins, as Monash still hold top spot

Eden Hayes

The burdensome wind on Saturday required a change in the game play style of many Premier B women’s matches, with gusts of an average of 35 km per hour.

The ladies from Brunswick took an outing to the home of Aquinas OC over the weekend and in a low-scoring game that had viewers waiting with bated breath, it was Aquinas who reigned supreme, with only a five-point margin between the final scores.

Although Brunswick were not triumphant this week, it was goal-kickers Vanessa Lussini and Danielle Hagan, alongside their best on field Josephine Brown, who assisted in narrowing the final margin. It was goal-kicking superstar, Jenna White who created success for Aquinas, scoring two goals, and supporting best player Natasha Derksen.

Both teams will have home matches next round with Brunswick coming head-to-head with the mighty Monash Blues and Aquinas up against roaring Richmond Central.

In a very windy home game for North Brunswick, the St Bedes/Mentone Tigers stole the show. In a slow game, North Brunswick struggled to make their mark up until the third quarter, scoring one behind, to the Tigers 52 points.

With an increase in accuracy and a focus on defensive efforts, can North Brunswick bring home a win next week, with another home game up against Mazenod OC?

Leading goal scorer for the Tigers made her presence felt over the weekend, scoring two goals with five other Tigers players also scoring goals. Rebecca Bennett put on an impressive best-on-field performance. Can they maintain their efforts with a match against the Cobras next week?

The Old Yarra Cobras headed to the home of Mazenod OC over the weekend. Mazenod was the first to generate some action and were in the lead up until the second quarter. However, the Cobras lifted their game and held onto a 35-point winning margin at the final siren.

Cobras representative Allanah Murray played an outstanding game with incredible conversion rates, scoring a total of three goals. Also contributing to the positive outcome was Tahlia Limburg who scored two goals, Sonya San who scored one and Illiana Zarifiriou who was deemed best-on-field.

Matilda Mckenzie kicked Mazenod’s only goal this week, working closely alongside Emma Camerotto who tried her best to defend her team, which led to her being recognised as their best player.

Can the Cobras continue their efforts next week, against the Tigers, and will Mazenod have better luck, with their outing to Brunswick next round?

Monash gave Richmond Central the Blues over the weekend, as they struggled to leave their mark, scoring one behind in comparison to the nine goals and six behinds accomplished by the Blues.

Ainslee Elliott, put on an incredible best-on-field performance, converting a total of 3 goals for the Blues and supporting six other goal-kicking specialists in leading their team to victory. This leaves them with their heads held high and well-prepped for their game against Brunswick next week.

Mazenod will have to lift their game next week to achieve success when they come head-to-head with North Brunswick in round 10.

After a week of personal bests for many Premier B womens representatives, Illiana Zarifiriou from the Cobras still sits comfortably as leading goal-scorer with 16 goals. Not far in the distance is Molly Mcfarlane from the Blues with 14, followed by Laura Amelung from the Tigers and Tahlia Limburg from the Cobras both on 11, and Johannah Dallas from also from the Blues on 8.
