Monbulk Women back on top

Shania Turner of Monbulk gets her kick away against Thornton (supplied)

Armin Richter

The Monbulk Senior Women’s football team were the only club representatives to play on a cold and wet Saturday.

The Hawks made the journey up to Thornton knowing that a win would return them to the top of the ladder by half a game after Officer defeated top side Warburton-Wesburn on Friday night.

Monbulk controlled the match from the outset and produced a four quarter performance that was dominant across the ground and on the scoreboard. The Hawks kicked their highest tally for the year and also kept the Kangaroos scoreless.

A highlight of the match was Helen Henderson kicking her first goal, while her daughter chipped in with four of her own.

With two rounds to go Monbulk face Warburton-Wesburn at home and Officer away and will likely require one win from those matches to guarantee the double chance as Woori Yallock is still just a game behind in third place.

The rest of the club had a week’s rest and will return next week for the second half of the split Round 14 matches in Premier Division.
