Senior Women’s Final Round Wrap Up 🌈⚡
The Port Power women returned home to Ferodale Oval for their final game of the season, taking on a very strong Newcastle City side for Pride Round.
Played in great spirit, Port certainly made City work for their opportunities. For the first time in what felt like forever, the women had the luxury of a full side and a bench, bringing plenty of energy and enthusiasm into the final game of 2026.
It was a fitting way to round out a season that has asked plenty of this group. Port has regularly taken the field down on numbers, with players stepping into unfamiliar positions, playing without a break and doing whatever was needed for the team. Through it all, they continued to show up, compete and play for each other.
The coaches’ votes went to Nic, who was dominant at both ends of the ground in attack and defence, Cheski, who made an impact wherever she was needed on the field, and Molly, who made a welcome return after being away for work and quickly reminded everyone what she brings to the side.
Players’ Player went to Grace, aka “Sniper”, whose relentless pressure was again on display. Her defensive efforts, attack on the contest and ability to impact play after play down the field earned the recognition of her teammates.
There is plenty to be excited about heading into 2027. New players have joined the group, continued to train and develop throughout the year, and the foundations are there to keep building. The women can hold their heads high after everything they produced this season, particularly when numbers were against them.
They finished the season together and with plenty of positive energy around the group. Now the aim is simple, carry that into 2027 and come back even stronger. 🌈⚡
