CHEER ON OUR VYCW THROUGH FINALS

I am very pleased to say that our Youth League Woman’s team has made VYCW elimination finals for the second year in a row. On Sunday we will be playing against Melbourne Tigers, who were undefeated until the last round. I am very proud of this extremely young team (average age 16-17) and the effort they have put in to make it to the finals, this is a fantastic achievement!  

At the start of the season we were struggling to see what games we could win as we were competing against stronger more experienced teams that had been playing together for several seasons.  Our goal was to work on improving our game and any wins along the way would be a bonus and a lift in confidence.

What we lacked in experience we made up for in determination, this determination started to bring with it results and wins. The team’s game improved week in week out, they play a fast paced aggressive game and this secured us wins against stronger and more experienced teams and earned us a place in the finals.  

We are definitely the “underdogs” in this game as Melbourne gave us the biggest loss in the regular season; this was a turning point in our game. We learnt a lot from that loss and used it to improve our game. It will be a tough game but I’m sure that the girls will come fired up and ready to give Melbourne a run for their money.

Last year we had a huge amount of supporters come and cheer the girls along, it would be great to see Diamond Valley supporters again this year to support our Youth League Woman’s team in their elimination final match against Melbourne Tigers this Sunday 26th July at 12:00pm MSAC.

GO EAGLES! We can only dream of another upset like last year.
