Stawell Pioneers Women's team proudly consisted of ladies ranging from in their 40's down to some as young as 10 who normally play in the junior teams. This has been an excellent learning experience and opportunity for all involved.

In the first game last Sunday, Stawell Pioneers played against Warrnambool Rangers and claimed their first win for the day with the final score being 3-2. Stawell's goal scorers for this game were Poppy Kingan, Annie Smethurst and Rhianne Guerrero.

Playing alongside these ladies were Danikah Harman, Morgan Difalco, Alicia Walter, Barb Venn, Darcy Venn and Karen Armstrong.

Two of Stawell's players, Indigo and Matilda Venn, stepped up to play for Portland Panthers who were short players on the day.

This made for an exciting and competitive second game for the day where Stawell drew 0-0 with Portland Panthers.
