These Girls Can Do It - again!

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.
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.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.

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.
