But once the respective/ fear ( whatever you want to call it) wore off, the Macquarie girls started to get stuck in and pulled a goal back before the half. Then kept the jets to nil in the second half whilst grabbing another goal themselves. Both keepers making excellent saves ( trying not to be biased as Macquarie keeper is my daughter but anyone who knows me will know I’m pretty honest with her on her performance’s).

But at then end of the day the standard of football both teams played was great and a real positive for the program and women’s football to know it’s working in a way and we should have some talented girls coming through in the years to come.
I was also at the game and all the girls did amazingly well and I can see a big improvement in the teams over the off season. Watching the next games and chatting to our friends from lambton. The Hamilton 11s teams completely overran both Lambton and Lake Macquarie teams. Im not sure whether its frustrating as a competitor or a pleasure to watch but its the same 2 groups of boys are so far ahead of the rest again.
Considering the unrest and what was conceived as a strategic move to strengthen Jaffas the game wasn't even close and then speaking to my friend he felt the other Team who played lakes are even stronger.

Two amazing games 1 after the other and I can only support the program so far.
