The Hamilton Wildcats AFC Club Executive is extremely pleased to announce that our Women's team has qualified for the 2012 OAFL Women's Grand Final, to be held in Guelph on Sunday, Sept 30th, after an impressive victory over the Ottawa Swans this past weekend in Toronto. This will be the first time in over 16 years that any Hamilton Wildcat team (Men's or Women's) has reached the OAFL Grand Final, and even more incredible, is the fact that our Women's team accomplished the feat in their inaugural season!!!
These women have been the glue that's held our Club together throughout the 2012 season. Their complete devotion to the Club as a whole, the team and the game itself is beyond compare. Literally from Day 1, these extremely talented women have been working non-stop on improving their skill-set, as not one of them had ever played one second of Australian Football before this year. They've been lead both on and off the field by Team Captain Kendra Heil, who personally has had an absolutely incredible 1st season in the OAFL, not to mention the Coaching staff of Harley Graef (Head Coach) and Justin Johns (Assistant Coach). Coach Graef has been their biggest supporter all season long, and despite a couple heartfelt losses around the midway point of the season, never lost hope in this amazing group of athletes. He continued to push, teach and support them whether they were up by 50points in a game or down by the same margin. His leadership & guidance from the sidelines has rubbed off on many of the players on the field, and this team has only gotten strong as the season progressed.
If you have not had the pleasure of taking in one of the Women's games so far this year, please, do yourself a favour and clear your schedule for this coming weekend. You will see the 2 best Women's teams in Ontario battle it our for footy supremacy this Sunday. No matter the outcome this weekend, we cannot stress the overwhelming pride the Club has in our Women's team, and we know they will be nothing short of unstoppable on Sunday. Win or lose, they will fight tooth & nail, with heart, throwing their bodies on the line and work together to bring home the 1st ever Premiership in Hamilton Wildcats history!!!
C'ARN THE WILDCATS!!!
