VFLW
Hawthorn’s VFLW side recorded their second win for the season defeating a gallant Williamstown by nine points at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday morning.
It was a scrappy and contested game and even though it didn’t rain on the day, the downpours during the week meant the ground was wet underfoot and caused lots of fumbles.
The Hawks were unable to capitalise on their opportunities up forward scoring four goals from their 15 scoring shots.
Pepa Randall played an excellent game in defence keeping opponent Moana Hope to a single goal and her GWS teammate Rebecca Beeson was the only multiple goal scorer for the Hawks kicking two goals from set shots.
Ladder position: 8th
