Season 2009 is underway!To get the rugby juices flowing, a couple of weeks ago some of the PowerHouse girls made the trip down to Cerbrus for the Vic Rugby centenary celebration 10's and had a run with Northern. The great news to come out of that event was the introduction of a new team - Wyndham City - hip hip hooray! A lot of new girls with a few experienced players - Wyndham seemed to enjoy themselves and we hope they become a long term success story. They have a very supportive club environment so things look good.
With the season proper starting on the 18th of May for seniors, the PowerHouse girls had their first run out as a team at the Womens 10's at Northern (see pic). Scores were low all day, with most teams appearing pretty evenly matched. We came second in our matches. (Northern 20-5, Box Hill 5-0, Monash 5-0). A deliberate ploy or an accident (you be the judge), we did give the opposition a psycological boost.... Sao didnt arrive till the second half of the last game.
Other news - we have a new coach! Tiana joins us from Queensland (East Tigers) and has played rugby for 5 years, and has coached Touch, Athletics and Swimming. We also have a cast of new players (a few complete brand newies) that are all doing really well. In particular, Nicky was a standout at the 10's - watch out for this star.
