Lancefield’s new women’s football team debuted against Woodend-Hesket at Gilbert Gordon Oval on Saturday evening.

The Hawks ended up winning 4.23 (47) to 1.4 (10) with the Lancefield players spending plenty of time defending.
Last week the Tigers were thrilled to be presented with their distinctive new guernseys by Glenice Rainey, who did a power of work for the club for many years.
Her late husband, Noel Rainey, was a life member of both the Lancefield club and the Riddell League, having been president of both.
Woodend-Hesket’s best players were Katrina Bau, Harmony Cassar, Molly Connell, Miriam Habib, and Maisie Crowther, while Molly Heales, Catriona Goldsworthy, and Madison Coates Crowley were prominent for the Tigers.
On Friday evening, Romsey women’s team travelled to Melton, and the experienced home side scored 10.10 (70) to no score.
Casey Rayment, Jemma Wilkins, Laura Lonergan, Kaitlyn Paterson, Taryn McAliece and Sacchi Rose-Grigg were the Redbacks’ best.
