Women dominate at home, men battle bravely on the road

It was another action-packed weekend of footy for the club, with Coldstream women’s team delivering a commanding win at home and Coldstream men taking on a tough opponent away at Oakleigh.

At home, the women faced off against Mitcham and came out firing.

The game started with a bang as Sophie Stark lit up the first quarter, kicking three goals and setting the tone early.

The team carried that momentum through the match, maintaining control and finishing with a dominant 59–18 victory.

Chany Underwood was named Coldstream Brewery Player of the Round after a standout performance across the half-back line and midfield.

Her relentless effort and composure under pressure played a key role in the team’s success.

With the win, the Coldstream women now enjoy a well-earned week off before turning their focus to a crucial top-of-the-table clash against Heathmont.

It promises to be one of the matches of the season.

Meanwhile, the Coldstream men made the trip down to Princess Highway Reserve to take on Oakleigh.

In a tough, physical encounter, both the senior and reserves sides showed plenty of heart and grit.

While the scoreboard didn’t swing in the Coldstream’s favour, the effort, work rate, and team spirit were there across the board.

Austin McInerney was named Reserves Player of the Round after a gutsy performance, showcasing his consistency and drive throughout the game.

In the seniors, Mitchell Edmonds stood tall and was awarded the Yarra Valley Steel Seniors Player of the Round.

His determination and impact around the contest were clear, earning praise from both teammates and coaching staff.

Both teams continue to build resilience and depth as they move into the business end of the season.

There’s plenty to be proud of, and they take learnings from this weekend.
