Nunawading Football Club
Mr HAMER (Box Hill) (12:59): The Nunawading Lions football club has endured some tough times in recent years, but under new president Aaron McDonald they are really kicking goals at Koonung Reserve. Season 2022 is the inaugural season for women’s footy at Nunawading, and in their very first match at home on 7 May they took the points. It is pretty impressive when you consider that two months ago they only had nine women on the roster and only two of their entire team had played football before 2022. Nunawading is also boosting their junior ranks, with the club now running both an Auskick program and a cubs program for three- to five-year-olds, with participation at these levels up 400 per cent. Best of luck to the Lions for season 2022.
