The boys didn’t give us much to cheer about this year, so it’s great that the girls are able to. I hope they can continue their excellent start to the season. Well done ladies.

The girls are doing the jumper proud. The ball movement, the hunger, the skills, the run, the passion. Our lads could learn a thing or 2.

We had more than 5 times the scoring shots than the suns by the end of it, including a couple that hit the post (and one that hit the little post) it was a dominant display that should've been even more dominant.

Brooke Vickers with her first game back in almost 2 years looked out of touch. A couple others early in their careers didn't show a whole lot, but the majority of the team are very solid. Cordner and Vellardo (and Hendry) down back intecepted everything that came their way.

Bree marked everything that came her way (could get a gig in the blokes side with hands like her)

The irish lasses' are a breath of fresh air who bring a never say die attitude that is infectious.

Sophie McKay should've had 5 and looks like a seasoned veteran, not a player playing their 5th game.

BIG test next week vs the Kangas.....but we are in form, so who knows.

Glad the girls are showing the way.

Post covid they did the "if you don't want to be here you can feck off" and seem to be benefitting from it now.

Hopefully our men's team have a similar reversal of fortunes.

They certainly did move players on, and some high profile players left for what they thought were greener pastures.  That really did cause short term pain but I think that it will be to our advantage in the long term.

We seem to have put together a very competitive list that really wants to play for the club and each other.

Another convincing performance once we cleaned up that goalkicking. They are an energetic, team focused, cohesive crew who look like they love their jobs (memo to men's side).

We have backed in a crop of talented youngsters and supported them with quality seniors. It's coming together nicely. Well done 👏
