The Ressies came up against a strong opponent who had beaten Narre Warren the week before while it was also great to see Cal French making his comeback after a long-term knee injury. The Ressies have taken big steps this year but need to keep building as they hit the dog days part of the season.

In the Women’s Footy, it was probably the best performance of the year to date, a very even contribution that saw the girls get the win over local rival Wandin. The women’s team has done an amazing job to date gelling into a top-three team and deserves the week off. Woori Yallock 4.4, 28 defeated Wandin 2.5, 17.
