Pretty amazing win. Had the lead by 4 after Seaford kicked a point with 3 minutes remaining.

On the kickout, our girl panicked a bit and forgot to touch ball to foot before taking off when the ump called play on. At the resulting bounce at the top of the square a free gets paid to Seaford who duly goal and take the lead by 2.

So we need a goal in the last 2 minutes, having only managed 3 for the day. Scramble it forward, massive amounts of pressure around the ball, 3 or 4 smothers and an errant clearance lands with Stratton who calmly goes back and nails the goal from 35 out.

Hold on for another minute and history is made.

Box Hill Women's first win. Same day as Box Hill senior blokes' 200th win since the alignment.
 
Well, obviously no-one cares, but, THEY WON! 1st win EVER!
Have been following the progress on the FB page each week, really good news. The comments from some people after the losses on there have been shithouse.
 
Great result girls! Was real heart in the mouth stuff at the end, but the better team won on the day.

Now let's build from this.
