Casey Thunder Women’s Football Club
Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (20:46): (1277) My adjournment matter this evening is to the Minister for Community Sport. The action I seek is that the minister meets with me to discuss the upgrade to the facilities used by Casey Thunder in Cranbourne East. I am so very proud of Casey Thunder, an extraordinary and inclusive footy club ably led by co-founder Pam Rogers. They were able to get to the big dance, unfortunately coming up short in their attempt to bring the granny to Cranny. I love what they have got going on. I was there to watch their courageous team on Sunday alongside my colleague from Narre Warren North, who was suitably and appropriately excited that Endeavour Hills were victorious. I could not be more impressed with the way that the players at Casey Thunder conducted themselves. They should be very proud of what they have achieved this season. In particular I would like to commend captain Alicia Heins, vice-captain Alice Barfoot, Ruby Bastian, Eden Tone, Abbey McKenzie, Rachael Hunt, Freba Zayee, Kirsty Roche, Lana Fullwood, Kayla Cottrell, Alizha Roche, Elaine Parkinson, Cassie Williams, Montaya Forsyth, Sarah Ventura, Shanae Chadwick, Audrey Robinson, Shereen D’Costa, Leah Swain, Grace Wake and Lauren Chrisanthou. I look forward to seeing the seating installed. I also very much look forward to the minister’s response.
