Eagles soar

NORTH Warrnambool’s under 15 footballers have taken out the Western Victoria Female Football League 2025 premiership flag.

North Warrnambool’s under 15 side celebrates its premiership last Sunday.

Playing in front of a big crowd at Reid Oval on Sunday, the Eagles put on a strong performance all over the ground to defeat the Koroit Saints, 2.8.20 to 1.2.8.

The win capped off a brilliant home and away season for the Eagles, who went through the eight rounds undefeated.

Scarlett Pearce and Zarah Timpson kicked a goal each for the victors and were named among the best alongside team captain Lily Shand and team-mates Rose Lumsden, Mae Roberts and Alexis Pickford.

Eagles captain Lily Shand was named ‘best on ground’ for the grand final.

North Warrnambool’s Alexis Pickford was presented with the AFL medal.

Best for the Saints were Eliza McDonnell, Milla Gleeson, Zoe Dobson, Esther Gleeson, Charli Lathwell and Ella McLaren.

The Saints also had an incredibly successful season, finishing the home and away rounds with six wins under their belts.

In other grand final matches in the female football league last weekend, the Hamilton Kangaroos defeated South Warrnambool in the senior women’s division while in the under 18s, Cavendish defeated Terang Mortlake 3.6.24 to 0.3.3.
