There’s hope for the fledgling Eagles who have taken flight at last, just in time for the second half of the season.
The Irish have more to give
Irish imports Grace and Niamh Kelly proved today that they’re continuing to adjust to the Aussie sport. They racked up 16 and 14 disposals respectively, and were responsible for a goal and three behinds.
On top of kicking one of the much-needed goals, Grace was consistently at the right place in the right time today. She was able to read the play, follow the ball, and make meaningful touches that contributed significantly to the Eagles’ victory.
Meanwhile, Niamh seemed eager to prove her speed, demonstrating on a number of occasions how willing she is to jump on her bike and go for a sprint.
Post-match, Grace reiterated how much her and her sister are loving the game and are continuing to learn off each other and their teammates. If this is the result of half a season, exciting things must be in-store for the Irish recruits in weeks and years to come.
