PORTLAND’S under-15 girls’ footballers rolled on to another win on Friday evening, defeating Koroit in a dominant display in the Western Victoria Female Football League competition.

The final score read 4.9 (33) to 0.0 (0) in the Tigers’ favour, a demonstration of both their attacking and defensive effectiveness.

Portland got off to an excellent start, kicking three first quarter goals, and while the Saints were able to quell their effectiveness over the rest of the game, the Tigers continued to showcase their strength defensively.

Coach Darren Jacobson said it was a “fantastic” performance from the group.

“The girls played their best brand of footy, and even when Koroit put some things in place defensively, they were still able to be effective,” Jacobson said.

“Our defensive structure was as good as it’s ever been, it was just a shame some of our accuracy in front of goal let us down a little bit.

“Annika Baker, our captain, was terrific… she played in the backline and the midfield at various times and did her role really well… Macey Williamson was another one who was excellent.”

The Tigers have three games left in their season, with Jacobson saying they will serve as an opportunity to try a few different things.

“We’ll play some of them in some different positions and just get them to try a few different things to see what works,” he said.

“The key is to see where they might enjoy playing and of course trying to avoid injuries as much as possible.”
