Our girls can do it - again!!!!

Moonee Valley's Women's team made it two from two when they won their Premiership on March 13.
For the second year in a row we were playing a team which finished top of the ladder, and against the odds won the game that really counted.
What made the win even more meritorious was we were struggling for numbers at the start of the season and were only a minute from having to forfeit our first game - which may well have been the death knell for the season.
But we got on the park - and the rest is history for back-to-back Premier-ships.
We only had seven players for the Grand Final against Werribee - eight is a full team - after key player Sandra Verschoor injured her hamstring and knee when we played on a wet ground in the semi.
Above: Premiers 2021/22! L-R. Back - co-coach Charlie Walker, Sandra Verschoor, Amber Dylan, Lane Edwards, co-coach Sarah Gooden, Audrey Brown, Sarah Fenn and co-coach Darren Nagle. Front - Kelsie Armstrong, Tara Newman and Yasmin King.
But our women had a strong bond, and worked well together to post a competitive total of 115 off our 20 overs - helped by a strong finish of 45 runs off the last five overs.
Werribee was always thereabouts in the run chase - but our last three overs - two from Yasmin King and one from captain Tara Newman - put the lid on them. Werribee only needed 27 off the last three overs with two of their bigger hitters at the crease - but we held our nerve and they fell short by seven runs, with some tight death-overs bowling.
Premiers two years in a row - we're proud of you.
