What an amazing story. Leithal Dawes’ U17 Girls have made the Prelim Final to be played at Ironbank this coming Sunday August 15th vs Onkas. The winner will take on Hahndorf in the Grand Final.
This is a HUGE achievement on a number of fronts.
Last year we didn’t have enough players to make a team so we formed an awesome amalgamation with Nairne Bremer Football Club. Our first match in 2020 was a 10 goal loss, turning our season around with our last match (to the same team) with a 1 point win, giving the girls a taste of finals footy where they gave it a fair crack in the 1st Semi.
In 2021 we still don’t have quite enough players, with at least 8 talented girls having played up from the U15s, and some will continue do so through the finals. A shout out goes to U15G coach Micheal Smart for sharing his team with ours, and for coaching them to such a high quality standard that they are able to hold their own in upper level football. The focus on a team game these girls play and the football that is produced is a credit to all involved.
Congratulations on making it to the Prelim Girls. GIVE ‘EM HELL!!
