Round 16 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Lilly Griffiths
The VAFA congratulates Lilly Griffiths from Box Hill North Football Club, who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 16. Lilly has had a busy 2024, playing a few games in the early rounds of the Mitcham Under 16s before breaking into the Box Hill North senior side in Round 4. She has polled votes in 10 of her 14 senior games and has booted 13 goals.
What the club said:
Lilly has made a huge impact in Box Hill North’s inaugural VAFA Senior Women’s team, since joining the team in Round 4. Lilly kicked three goals in only her second game with the side, and has been tagged by opposition teams since. She has kicked 13 goals in the 14 games she played this season and has been named among the best on ground in 10 games.
Lilly was best on ground in Box Hill North’s narrow 6-point loss to De La Salle in the Semi Final on the weekend, which unfortunately ended their season… But Lilly and the team can celebrate her fantastic debut season in the VAFA with an Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination!
Lilly is known for lightning pace, booming right foot and clean skills. The group has welcomed Lilly with open arms as she has cemented her place in this new and exciting side. Spectators are regularly blown away by her speed and ability. Lilly is a rising star in every sense of the term.
Of Lilly, Senior Women’s coach Steve Jackson said “Lilly is fast with fantastic evasive steps and elite ground ball skill. She also has a bubbly and cheeky personality and is always up for a laugh. I’ve never seen a young player make such a big impact on a senior team before. She’s very coachable, willing to try things to improve her game”.
