Parkside overwhelms Coburg with 116 points – dream result for Cornish!
A clear victory in a class of its own: Parkside's women's team left nothing to be desired in the last game of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA). With an impressive 116-point win over Coburg, the team moves up to third place in the table and can look back on an impressive percentage of 211.96. Particular attention was paid to Diana Cornish, who scored five goals in her 50th game and contributed significantly to her team's success. Coach Anthony Romano praised his team's strong performance while recognizing Coburg's fighting spirit, even though the team is struggling in Division 2.
What happens next? Parkside can prepare for the upcoming matches, including the duel against Aquinas, which is already scheduled for the next round. However, the competition does not remain idle: Old Carey secured the league lead with a narrow 27-point win against UHS-VU and showed an impressive team performance with six different goal scorers. However, UHS-VU remains in wait, only one game separates them from a place among the top four teams.
Team achievements and individual successes
Brunswick, also on the rise, beat Box Hill North 37-21. Coach Sasha Dougherty emphasized his team's high level of offensive pressure. A star on the field was Emma McTaggart, who put in an excellent performance in the return game, while Euphemia Gannon was very strong in the take-offs. La Trobe University surprised De La Salle after a double break to take the win, with Natalie Cappelletti and Claire Wilson scoring two goals each. De La Salle is now facing a challenging situation with three defeats in a row and as a result finds itself outside the top four.
Aquinas, on the other hand, beat Hawthorn with 41 points and was already 27 points ahead at half-time. Emily Box proved to be the goal guarantor for Aquinas, who also played well in defense. So it remains exciting as the league enters the next rounds.
Outlook for the Grand Final
A special date is coming up for the fans in the VAFA: The Grand Final will be played on Sunday, September 17, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. in Piranha Park in Coburg. Parkside will face the Old Yarra Cobras – a real challenge, but also a great opportunity to show off your skills. In the last game, the Old Yarra Cobras have some promising players, such as A. Raso, who scored two goals in the last game, and will therefore be a serious opponent. The Cobras' best players are N. Zappala, S. Yeo and A. Lamanna, who have already impressed this season.
The tension is great and every look at the table makes your heart beat faster. So stay tuned as this league offers plenty of exciting games in the coming weeks!
