🎉PLAYER OF THE MATCH – BRIDIE! 🩵

What a game from Bridie, helping the Lilacs to a fantastic 17–10 victory over the Native Finches! 🏐💪
Bridie was outstanding in both GS and GA, and we’re so proud of the extra work she’s been putting into improving her shooting accuracy. It definitely showed on the court.

Bridie is the definition of determination. She chases every ball, works tirelessly in attack, steps up in defence when needed, and always backs herself under the post. Her resilience, confidence and never-give-up attitude makes her such a valuable teammate, and it was brilliant to see all her hard work pay off.
We’re incredibly proud of your enthusiasm, team spirit and tenacity, Bridie. Keep believing in yourself—you’ve got so much to be proud of! 💜🩵👏
