On Wednesday Wentworth Premier Team 1 went into probably one of the hardest games they will play this season, against Westlake Premier 1. Our girls have trained hard pre-season and it paid off with only a 12 point difference. This is impressive considering Wentworth (with only 3 college and 1 intermediate team) were close to Westlake who have at least 1,000 girls to choose from. Special mention goes out to McKenzie Wilton and Mia Cunningham South who were forced into a new combination for the night due to the absence of defender,Rosalie Reeves. The new duo defended well using the ‘lift’ and other forms of defence to charge down and intercept numerous passes. A good first effort for our girls against Westlake, and they will all be keen to see just how much they can improve the score line next around.
