The 2014 Women’s AFL premiership campaign was an unprecedented success.
The team, led by Vicki Powell (captain) and Alex Trollip (vice captain) and under the dedicated coaching of Nat Walker (2013), managed to take the title with a total of 107 points scored and no points conceded.
Ormond women’s football players in their grand final match against Trinity.
A great team effort both on and off the field resulted in whitewash games against St Mary’s (30-0) and Whitley (40-0) which put the squad in a strong position for the Sunday finals rounds. A tough match against St Hilda’s then ended in a narrow 9-0 win. This set the team up for a grand final grudge match against Trinity, who had beaten Ormond by 1 point in the previous two grand finals.
After a close first half, only up by a goal, Ormond was able to sustain momentum and ended up winning 28-0. The cohesive team dynamic was by far its best asset. But standouts include Cec Cameron’s goal from behind the 50, Emily Serle’s powerful tackles and Jess Adams’s dominance as ruck. Most of all, the team stepped up to every challenge on the field and had a blast doing it.
