Following a hard fought 1-point win over Morningside, Sherwood Women are all set to host Jimboomba Redbacks in a top of the ladder fixture at McCarthy Homes Oval on Saturday evening.

We are bolstered by some key inclusions this week including Captain Sammy Chisholm, and dominant round 1 performer Jaidyn Eastaughffe who adds much needed height and physicality to our structure.

Laura Archer is also back into the mix this week after training strongly.

Making their debut this week are Lahnie Cooper, Renee King and Tanya Bougoure.

Lahnie Cooper has been an influential member of the team since being headhunted from AFL9’s over the summer and has overcome injury to make her first appearance in the black and white. Lahnie will look to give us a strong target up forward and will add plenty of leadership and composure to the group.

Renee King has trained the house down since coming to the club after not playing football for a few years and put in an impressive midfield performance last week on permit for Moorooka which forced her way into the side this week.

Tanya Bougoure initially came down to the club as a parent happy to watch and support however training with daughter Lily (now Yeronga QAFLW) and son Billy (Sherwood U16’s/Colts) convinced the former national touch football representative that she should give Australian Football a try (and we are very glad that she did give it a go!).

With 28 players not going into 22 spots we also have a host of players on permit this weekend across both Jindalee and Moorooka so we encourage any members who are on the Northside or Sunshine Coast to get out and support our girls as they take on Kedron and Nambour respectively.
