The weekend started off on Friday night cold and wet and today although we had patches of sunshine, it was still quite fresh for most of the teams who ventured up the hill to play Olinda. While the Monbulk juniors didn’t have any wins this weekend, the teams are all progressing very well and it won’t be long before the club see some wins.
Next weekend is a home game and Monbulk is having a meals night, kicking off at 5pm at the club. All awards will be held over to be read out Sunday night 28 May.

It was a very cold and wet Friday night. The kids played Gembrook Green/White, and it poured the whole time. The kids were all very brave to go out and have a go. Very proud of them all.

Playing one of the top sides in poor conditions. Monbulk’s first quarter the team went back into old habits. The second and third were much better and the team put in a great effort. Keep on working team a wind is not too far away.

Another great job by the girls today. Out scored the opposition in the second half but didn’t quite get over the line. Another hard-fought effort.

Coming out as both undefeated teams and top of the ladder, Monbulk knew it was in for their hardest game yet! Being a wet conditions game, the ball spent a lot of time on the ground and both teams just kept trying to keep the ball pushing forward. Olinda just came out the stronger side but Monbulk definitely gave them a good run. Proof of the team Monbulk has, and now gives them a good idea of what they need to do pushing forward. Well done team!

Great match up today. The group worked heard and gave themselves good opportunities. Olinda’s on ball brigade worked hard and were tough to stop. The team have been good at training and are focused on improving. Keep up the good work.

Monbulk’s girls continue to improve each week and their intensity today was formidable. They were unrelenting in their tackling and the pressure they put on Yarra Glen. Unfortunately, the final score doesn’t reflect how well we played and how much possession we had. We love your fighting spirit girls – keep up the hard work.
