The girls played as a team giving Zillmere a hard contest match, but it just was not enough to beat them.
There was nothing the 15s did wrong, they played as a team, fought hard and attacked the ball, even when they were were down by 12 points at half-time.
They game back out with their heads held high, ready to give Zillmere a taste of their never say die attitude. Lana Van Heerden dominated the ruck. Brodie Lee Baker, Keelie Coburn and Isobel Morris fought hard in the backline with continuous tackling to keep Zillmere’s score down.
