The women’s premier league women  played TEM at home,  with the firsts fighting back from 1-3 down at half time to a 3 all draw. Great work ladies. While the reserves also came away with a draw.  The pennant B ladies after a tough season last year, started the season getting the 3 points in a 3-0 win over Brunswick, while Women’s Metro B invited Bayside to Farm Rd and had a strong result with a 5-1 win.  

Rumour has it that the all members of the Eddington/Ward clan scored a goal this weekend, a good start to the season.
