THE finals chances of Anglesea’s women’s football team had a huge boost over the weekend with a 19-point victory over Geelong West Giants in the Pride Cup match.<\/p>\n

The fourth annual Pride Cup saw both come together to support the LGBTQIA+ community and their safety and acceptance on and off the sporting field.<\/p>\n

The home team dazzled in its pride jumpers designed by former player Rachel Joseph, while the visitors joined them in a show of unity by wearing rainbow socks and a special jumper of their own.<\/p>\n

Before the bounce, players, umpires and officials also ran through a joint rainbow banner to plenty of cheers from the large crowd at Ellimatta Reserve.<\/p>\n

Once the siren sounded, Anglesea was able to flex its muscles in the tight encounter, slotting three goals and keeping its opposition goal-less in a dominant second quarter.<\/p>\n

A further two goals put the result beyond doubt with Kelsea Gray, Ella Nickolaus and Olivia Ritchie leading the charge for the Roos.<\/p>\n

Anglesea senior female football coordinator Jenn Lingam was rapt with both clubs buy in both on and off the field.<\/p>\n

“It was once again just an incredible day of unity and compassion.<\/p>\n

“It’s really important to our club that we make an environment where everyone is accepted and feel safe.<\/p>\n

“This game with Geelong West reinforces a common commitment to inclusivity and diversity. It’s something we are very proud of.”<\/p>\n

Ms Lingam said the club was taking measures to ensure it was a leader in the LGBTQIA+ awareness space across the region.<\/p>\n

“On top of hosting the Pride Cup match, we also secured a grant to hold an activation last week with our senior women’s and men’s players by the Pride Cup organisation.<\/p>\n

“It was received incredibly well. The buy in was fantastic, the players all got so much out of it.”<\/p>\n

Statistics suggest clubs working with Pride Cup are 40 per cent less likely to use homophobic language and abuse.<\/p>\n

“We’ve loved working with them and learning more about we can do to keep making our environment as good as it can be,” Ms Lingam said.<\/p>\n

“We aim to further enhance our support in 2025 by having men’s pride jumpers and hosting some more information sessions, particularly for some of our youth teams.”<\/p>\n

With its win, the Roos’ women’s side cement second spot and will look to assert themselves on being a major player in the push for a flag this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
