00:00Alright Maddy Hunger, premiership coach now, how good's that?

00:04Oh it's very surreal, I'm a mess.

00:07Nah, it's a very surreal feeling.

00:10We had to overcome a really strong core in our outfit today.

00:14They've really found their straps at the right time of the season.

00:18Which is fantastic to see for their country club.

00:21You can tell by the supporter base that they had here today that they really came for the fight.

00:26I'm just so proud of our girls for being able to use their experience

00:31and be steady at the right time to be able to get that third win in a row for the club.

00:36It's fantastic.

00:37And yeah, your first A grade premiership as a coach?

00:41Yes.

00:42That must be pretty good.

00:43It's one for the memory bank.

00:45Yeah, I'm lost for words truly.

00:49The girls are just sensational to work with and I couldn't be more proud of them.

00:55And who impressed you today?

00:56Jo was awarded the best on court.

00:58Yeah, Jo just really showed her class today I think.

01:01Absolutely just effortless display from her.

01:04She's such an athlete and we're so blessed to have her in our team.

01:08Her along with I think Lisa Anders had a brilliant game back in defence.

01:13Their goalies were fantastic.

01:15Credit must be given to them.

01:17They shot exceptionally well but I think Reggie really exposed them in spots

01:21and was able to get around that body and come through for some crucial intercepts for us.

01:25And it was Lisa's 100th too I believe.

01:27Lisa's 100th, yep.

01:28Big game for Reggie so fantastic that the team could get the win for her.

01:31And undefeated this year three in a row for the team.

01:34That's pretty good for the club.

01:35Yeah, it's a real feeling for the whole group and something that doesn't come around often

01:41so we'll definitely celebrate the wins and hopefully we can make it four next year.

01:46Sounds good.

01:47Well enjoy mate.
