Great day on the turf
Our first home game of the season on another hot day (seriously it’s supposed to be Autumn). The Parky oval was buzzing with excitement and lots of activity during set-up.
To quote coach Jamie ” the girls were amazing with only three on the bench, everyone became their own driver on field, this week was the most difficult to pick award winners. “
The backline was tight, the mids ran like their life depended on it and the forwards well they had a great time with Rachel and Bill kicking 3 goals each, Kay chipped in with 2 of her own to help us to the win 54 – 8.

The team take recovery seriously, whether that be a swim in the pool, ice bath, hike through the hills or in the case of our masters their recovery involves playing another game today in either footy or cricket.
Family gets the win…..
We are a close knit bunch at Hills Rangers, often describing those within the club as family. However yesterday our women’s team took that to a whole new level..
First up there’s our Coach Jamie, who is supported by dad Kingy as the Assistant Coach, mum Gail as Team Manager on game day and last but not least wife Kayla, who plays for the team.
Next up is Jessie who is one of our Co-captains, supported by our star photographer Harper and son Olleigh these kids are always supporting and helping out on game day.
Then there is our President Lou, who roped her twin sister Leanne into playing to give us extra numbers. I can only imagine the confusion that would’ve caused the opposition with the identical twins running around.
The strong sense of community and family are what keeps our club going.
Tough game….
It was another hot game even with the earlier start. The team made the trek to Leeming to take on Bullcreek/Leeming. The music was pumping in the change rooms, as the team prepared but even that was no match for how pumped our coach was.
After a tough first half, where they kept us scoreless. A few motivational words from the coach saw the team come back in the third quarter, after a few directed messages that our runner may have reworded for his safety, the team started to make a comeback. With our pocket rockets chasing down everything and everyone, the ball was moving into our forward. Catherine could be heard loud and clear on the field providing a voice in the back line and is a force to be reckoned with. Our forwards got the ball through the sticks and put us on the board. With pressure, determination and just a little bit of mongrel we held the scoreless to go down 28 – 15 at the final siren.
