Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green this week spoke in State Parliament about local women footballers.

“I wish to commend the Diamond Creek Women’s Football Club
on their on-field success.,” Ms Green told the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday.

“Melbourne’s north is the cradle of AFLW, especially the Diamond Creek
Women’s Football Club, which has given many current star players their start.

“As a proud sponsor I wish the seniors well this Sunday in the grand final against the Victoria University Western Spurs after a fabulous preliminary final victory against great rival Darebin last weekend.

“Well done to other teams, especially the three that contested grand finals last weekend, with the under-14 girls Red team victorious and the under-18 girls and under-16 girls Red being valiant in defeat.

“I wish to commend the Diamond Creek Football and Netball Club on its on-field success. Its seniors have snuck into the grand final, and last weekend in the junior grand finals we saw the under-14 Red valiantly go down and also a narrow victory for the under-12 Green.

“I wish to commend the Laurimar Football Club on its on-field success. The seniors narrowly missed out on getting into a grand final this weekend but made a great fist in division 3.

“Their women also narrowly missed out on getting into the grand final, but also we saw the under-13 Blues valiant in defeat in the grand final against Montmorency, and Laurimar Teal were stiff losing in under-13 (time expired),” Ms Green said.
