“The game was pretty evenly matched for a lot of it,” coach Kate Boyer told the Baw Baw Citizen.

“The majority of the play was in our defensive half, there were some quick runs up forward for us but Phillip Island’s defence was just too strong. However, our girls held it until there was a sneaky shot in the 12th minute, but that was the only goal scored.”
The closest Phillip Island has come to losing a game is a nil-all draw with Wonthaggi in Round 1. Last time Drouin faced Phillip Island, Drouin lost by seven points.
“To have that sort of turnaround and keep them to one goal, the girls celebrated at the end of the game like they had won,” Kate said.
“They played like a team, they were supporting each other, and they had fun.”
