U14-1 Girls Gold 2018

Round 8 - Indigenous Round - Joe Johnson Medalists

Since 2011 the Fitzroy Junior Football Club has recognised our shared history during Indigenous Round alongside the AFL. Fitzroy Football club is known as the club where in 1904 the first recognised Indigenous player, Joe Johnson, played VFL football. Each year we honour his name in all the FJFC games during Indigenous Round by awarding a Joe Johnson medal to a player from each team who demonstrates Endurance, Tenacity, Courage, Loyalty and Pride.

In 2018 the medals in the U14 Girls Gold match between Fitzroy and Kew Rovers B were awarded to Emily (Kew Rovers B) and Kaisha Reed (FJFC). Congratulations to both girls for a great game and more importantly displaying all those magnificent traits.

Banyule  3.5.23  defeated by  Fitzroy  4.6.30

#1 – Our girls don’t mind the wet. Great win in tough conditions. Rain, hail or shine they’ll come to play.

#2 – You wouldn’t have known it was Maeve Sharrock’s debut. Great first game, awesome goal too.

#3 – Our defensive group have grit. Fierce, persistent, never say die. Love it.

#4 – We’ve got a pretty handy ruck-duo too. Keep punching Fionn & Soph!

#5 – Synergy and Cohesion, these girls have tonnes. Third year together for the core of the group paying dividends.
