“It was pretty wet and windy but they tried their hardest and battled hard,” he said.
“They battled hard all day in very difficult conditions which I was proud of.
“The other team had a few girls who were outstanding and they were just better than us in the end.
“I think a lot of their team would have played before.”
Summers said Sunday was a tough day for a whole group of new players to start.
“Wet weather footy is hard at the best of times but to play in it in your first match would be even tougher,” he said.

“The girls showed no signs of giving up though and they put in the effort for the whole game which is all we are looking for.
“This season is not about wins or losses, it is just about providing the girls with an opportunity to play the game they love.”
