GEELONG Falcons produced a memorable Under 16 Girls carnival in the Coates Talent League by producing two comprehensive wins. The Falcons were undefeated alongside Bendigo Pioneers, while Murray Bushrangers lost both but by a combined margin of 11 points. Dandenong and GWV split their results, while Gippsland also competed but fell short of a victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BENDIGO PIONEERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pioneers’ future looks bright with a strong win over Gippsland Power before a gritty victory over Murray Bushrangers in front of home fans. Emmersen Lihou<\/strong> presented as the side’s main scoring option with multiple goals in both games, while Sage Dennis<\/strong> was named best-on in both matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n defeated Gippsland Power by 46 points Goals:<\/strong> Emmersen Lihou (5), Dempsey McDonnell (3), Jordan O’Bree (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n DANDENONG STINGRAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Stingrays had a mixed bag going down in a heavy loss to Geelong before bouncing back with a win over Gippsland. They shared their goalkickers around with only a couple of multiple goalkickers. Indiana Busuttil<\/strong> and Annie Clish<\/strong> were among the top players across both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n lost to Geelong Falcons by 67 points Goals: <\/strong>Olivia Bloink (2), Lily Brittain (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n GEELONG FALCONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An incredible seven-goal haul from Evie Albones<\/strong> sank the Stingrays first up, before keeping the Rebels to just four points in the second match. Sienna Bilinski <\/strong>kicked a couple of majors in each game, while Evie McKenzie<\/strong> was among the best in what projects as an ultra-strong Falcons crop in a couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n defeated Dandenong Stingrays by 67 points Goals: <\/strong>Evie Albones (8), Sienna Bilinski (4), Isabella Cheel (2), Winter Davies (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n GIPPSLAND POWER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Though the Power went down in two matches to Bendigo Pioneers and Dandenong Stingrays, there were still a number of familiar names and sisters-of coming through the ranks. Charlotte Dillow<\/strong> booted two goals to be the sole multiple goalkicker, while Elizabeth Sowden<\/strong> is the next Sowden sibling in line. Jessica Grimsted<\/strong> was the standout for the Power coaches, named best-on in both matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n lost to Bendigo Pioneers by 46 points Goals:<\/strong> Charlotte Dillow (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n GWV REBELS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n GWV had a really even spread of contributors across the two games, finishing with a 1-1 record. A tight win over Murray was great for the confidence, before running into what looks like the team to beat in a couple of years in Geelong Falcons. Abbey Burke<\/strong> and Jayda Wright<\/strong> both kicked a couple of majors in the win, while Sarah Burton<\/strong> and Maddison Wallace<\/strong> were among the best in both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n defeated Murray Bushrangers by 6 points Goals: <\/strong>Abbey Burke (2), Jayda Wright (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n MURRAY BUSHRANGERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a tough couple of defeats for Murray, having been ultra competitive in both games against the Rebels and Pioneers. A kick or so the other way and they would be undefeated, though a couple of genuine stars in Evie Henley <\/strong>and Charlie Gibson<\/strong> are names to remember in the future. Gibson was equal leading goalkicker with Abbie Spokes<\/strong> (both three) who also impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n lost to GWV Rebels by 6 points Goals:<\/strong> Charlie Gibson (3), Abbie Spokes (3), Tabatha Ingham (2), Taralina Ganambarr (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
