PORT Stephens Power senior women’s AFL team capped a big day for the club after trouncing the Muswellbrook Cats 94-6 at Ferodale Oval.
The 88 point triumph preceded the Power men’ s team’s historic victory over the Cats at the same venue later that afternoon.
It was a powerful and dominant performance by the Power women, who booted 14 goals and 10 behinds in a rollicking start to their 2025 Hunter Central Coast Senior Women’s campaign.
Port Stephens showed their class with vice captain Sarah Masiero, Kim Neal, Emidi Stocks, Bianca Cattelini, Dimity Roberts and Alysha Fewster turning in strong performances.
The trusty boot of Masiero and Cattelini (three goals apiece), Jayde Everill (two) along with Shakira Jobson, Kristy Davies, Renee Selby, Neal and Stocks paved the way for an impressive first up victory.
Port Stephens led 20-0 at the first break and established a 46-6 lead at the half time interval with four second term goals.
They posted another four goals by the end of the third quarter to lead 72-6 before finishing with a three goal burst and four behinds to wrap up an emphatic win.
Port Stephens Power club president Kayla Pennicott told News Of The Area that opening the Black Diamond Plate competition series with two rousing home victories by the men’s and women’s senior teams was a “massive confidence boost for both squads”.
“We plan to build on the positive start and remain competitive for the entire season,” Kayla said.
