The VAFA congratulates Eden Ackland from Old Yarra Cobras Football Club, who has been nominated as the Round 1 VAFA Women’s Rising Star.
Eden made an immediate impact in her first game for the Cobs. The talented 17-year-old was electric up forward, combining sharp craft and relentless pressure with four goals, including a standout finish from the boundary. Eden has slotted into the group seamlessly, already impressing with her footy smarts, agility, and polished skills.
What the club said:
Eden’s performance was outstanding for a first game. Her ability to impact the contest, apply pressure, and finish her work was a real highlight. What’s been just as impressive is how quickly she’s adapted to our environment and connected with the group.
