Hawks’ Heartbreaking Defeat: Semi-Final Dream Shattered in a Nail-Biting Finish

19/11/2024 Raymond 0

Port Adelaide produced one of the most dramatic comebacks in AFLW history, overturning a 22-point deficit in the final term to defeat Hawthorn by a single point, 7.8 (50) to 6.13 (49). The Power’s remarkable resurgence was powered by Abbey Dowrick, Gemma Houghton, and Matilda Scholz, who combined for four goals in the final quarter, stunning the Hawks and securing a spot in next week’s preliminary final against North Melbourne.

Despite a strong start from Hawthorn, including an early goal from Ella Boag, Port Adelaide remained resilient. As the match progressed, the Hawks struggled to convert their opportunities, and the Power’s speed and unpredictability in ball movement began to take control. Houghton and Dowrick led the charge, with Houghton’s dynamic performance helping to break the Hawks’ defensive structure.

Port Adelaide’s win was a testament to their first-year players, who rose to the occasion when it mattered most, while Hawthorn’s injury woes and inability to keep up with the Power’s pace ultimately saw them fall short.

Stoke City makes awkward u-turn after telling star to ‘use NHS’ for surgery

17/04/2024 Raymond 0

Stoke City has reversed its decision and will now cover the cost of surgery for one of its women’s team players after she claimed the club initially advised her to use NHS services. Defender Kayleigh McDonald, 30, sustained a serious injury during Stoke City Ladies’ match against Burnley on March 24, resulting in multiple diagnoses including a ruptured LCL, a high-grade three ACL injury, and other complications. Despite the severity of her injuries, McDonald was informed she would need to join the NHS waiting list for surgery. In response, she launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise £20,000 to cover the costs, given her inability to work and the financial strain.
