The annual Gender Equity Cup resulted in an easy win for Kyneton over Mount Alexander Falcons at Harcourt on Saturday afternoon.
It was Jen Schellekens’ 50th game for the Tigers and for the first half the Falcons applied plenty of pressure in a half where the unbeaten Tigers scored 3.5.
The game was back in Kyneton’s favour well and truly in the second half, with the margins being 12.12 to 2.1.
Taylah Moore’s six goals took her tally to 21 in three games.
Best for the winners were H. Erasmus, P. Turnbull, P. Williams, A. Strawhorn, E. Gibson and T. Ainslie.
The match was played in good spirits as both teams have a strong connection in the work they are doing off the field in access, inclusion and equity in sport.
Highlight of the day was the presentation of the Equity Cup, described as “when a cup is not a cup”.
It is an incredible piece of artwork designed and created by local artist Anna Schwann.
One continuous piece of metal cast in solid aluminium, it weighs about seven kilos. Easy enough for one to lift, but more satisfying to lift by many.
Made to be held by many, the cup has abundant twists and turns that act as grips, a shared experience. The salient point of this design is to hold the cup to celebrate your community and the ride that got you to this point, together.
Special thanks went to Craig MacDonald from Garage Art Foundry, Elphinstone and Duncan Freedman from RMIT’s Foundry for support with construction and casting.
