Two in row for the Roy Girls

After a tough start its been a great couple of weeks for the Fitzroy-ACU Senior womens side and it was all smiles as they evened the ledger.

In a tight contest against Old Trinity at Ramsden Street last Saturday, Fitzroy-ACU managed to hold a narrow lead for the whole game and had just enough poise and defensive muscle to hold out Trinity as they came home strongly. Fitzroy-ACU won 7.8.50 to 4.12.36.

This puts the team at 2 wins and 2 losses, with a challenging battle looming this weekend. The Inaugural premiers of the VAFA Premier Womens competition and the team that knocked Fitzroy out of the finals, Marcellin, seem to have picked up where they left off at the end of 2107 doing a demolition job on Old Xavs last week. This is a real test for the home side, who have really started to show some strong form in the last two games.

The star for Fitzroy-ACU in the Old Trinity game was Ruby Condon with three goals, including a crucial shot to stop the momentum of OTs, who had scored the first goal of the final quarter to move within striking distance. Ruby was best on ground.

Not far behind was, Erin EverywhereGogerly, who frustrated the opposition with her ground coverage and ability to read the play and cut off their attacking moves. Lucy Kerr was also very influential.
