Aquinas Women win the HTC AFL Cup again!
Our HTC Women’s Football Coaches faced a difficult task from the outset due to the depth of gifted footballers. With a mix of experienced players and exciting up-and-coming talent, we were well placed heading into the competition.
Round 1, which was dedicated to the Childhood Cancer Foundation, saw us take on Lincoln and Flinders. The women delivered a brilliant display of team football, earning the points in both games.
Round 2, Indigenous Round, followed on the next Sunday. The Round opened with another dominant performance against St Ann’s, keeping them scoreless with a polished and purposeful brand of footy. The final game of the day against St Mark’s was always going to be a challenge for the Aquinas Women, as St Mark’s was also undefeated.
Absent was one of the coaches and players, Alice, who was in Perth representing the State Team. Kai stepped up to assist Eliza on the bench. The high quality of the squad across every line was evident. Our speed, connection and skill were on full display as we produced a superb team performance to secure the win, and with it, the overall victory of the Women’s AFL HTC, with the Cup going back to the top of the Hill for the second year in a row.
A huge congratulations to Aquinas Fresher, Aoife Berry for being awarded player of the series with the awarding of the “St Ann’s Chelsea Masclet Medal for Best Player”.
