Match Report
The Reserves had a hard task set out for them facing off against Old Geelong’s on an unseasonably hot and sunny autumn day. With a host of debutantes Lara Bush, Rosie Byers, Kat Hopkins, Belle Ngien and Stephanie Ward making their first Renegade appearances, the reserves were up for a big task.
Unfortunately, Brunswick’s effort was not reflected in the score. Throughout the entire game, the team worked hard, winning a lot of the ball and maintaining Brunswick’s patented style of hard tackling and placing huge pressure on the opposition. Despite an opposition of tall and fast players who moved the ball very well, the Renegades kept trying valiantly and never gave up.
First gamer Lara Bush laid tackle after tackle in a very busy backline that persisted through the hot afternoon. She was supported by the cool Jane Williamson and Danielle Hagan who kept level heads and held up a strong line of defence. Rosie Byers had a stunning debut, going head first at the footy, and beating multiple opposition players to get the possession.
Despite the loss, the Renegades held their heads high, and are looking towards taking on St Mary’s Salesian following the bye.
