R6 WAFLW Match Day Review

R6 WAFLW Match Day Review

Coming off the competition’s general bye, the Sharks WAFLW Team travelled down to Mandurah to take on Peel Thunder.

Eleanor Hartill and Tayah Palmer made their League debuts while Ashlee Atkins and Larissa Versaci returned to the side and Laura Catherine made her first appearance for the season.

The opening term saw the Sharks start strongly getting their hands on the footy led by Ashleigh Gomes and Samara Pluschke.  East Fremantle managed to keep the ball in their front half with Atkins kicking the first major of the game.

The Sharks broke the game open in the second quarter which started with a long range goal from Anjelique Raison. Versaci and Catherine added two goals in quick succession before a 50 m penalty on the stroke of half-time gave Raison her second for the quarter.

As expected, Peel responded after half-time kicking the first goal of the quarter however some quick thinking from Atkins minutes later maintained the Sharks advantage.

The remainder of the game was a tight affair with Palmer kicking a goal on debut as the Sharks came away with a 35 point victory.

This week the League side play South Fremantle on Saturday at Fremantle Oval with bounce down at 5pm while the Rogers Cup play the Bulldogs on Friday in the port city at 6pm.
