Coach quote on Performance:

“Cherry looked comfortable and composed off the half back. She read the ball well and utilised her foot speed to get the ball into our forward 50. Cherry was able to play multiple positions to help the team and contribute in every role she played. For someone of small stature she was incredibly fierce and laid great tackles to lift the team. Cherry is a star who will have an exciting career in footy” – Katherine Smith
