ROUND #7 Game Report (WOMENS): Hamilton Wildcats (2-2) v Ottawa Lady Swans (2-1), at Rideau Carlton Raceway, Ottawa, ON.
After a very tough game vs the Ottawa Swans Women's team in Round #4 (at University of Toronto, Scarborough Campus) earlier this year, Hamilton was looking for a little revenge and hoping to down the Swans on their home turf. They would definitely be in tough against a very quick and talented Lady Swans side, who also held a massive advantage playing on their home turf.
Well, revenge is apparently a dish best served cold, and Hamilton definitely didn't have their thermostat set low enough. The Swans looked slick on their home oval; using their speed and strong overhead marking to keep the Wildcats attack at bay. After losing their first match-up of the year vs Ottawa by 84 points (91-7), this was a much closer affair with an increased level of competitiveness for both Clubs. The Hamilton ladies should be very pleased with their efforts on the day, despite the final score, as they played well as a team on an unfamiliar ground and with a few new faces dawning the "yellow & black". Congratulations definitely goes out to the Ottawa ladies, as they should be commended on their fair play, hardness for the footy and crisp passing around the ground which led to a well deserved victory on the day.
We can definitely see this becoming a great rivalry in the coming years, as both Clubs play a similar style of game and definitely have an incredibly strong desire to win. We look forward to future match-ups vs the Swannies, and hope to be seeing them across the oval in this year's OAFL Women's Grand Final!!!
