2. Olivia Hudson boots another goal for Lauderdale
After entering the TSLW this year, from competing in the SFL in 2018, Lauderdale have struggled to put their competitive efforts on the scoreboard against some tough opponents.
Round two and three saw them scoreless, and round four saw Olivia Hudson kick their first goal. This week Hudson came out and delivered again booting their only goal and score for the game.
Katie Teders, Claire McManus, Margaret Goldsmith were Lauderdale’s best players in round five as the Southern Bombers continue to look for little wins and improvements as the year unfolds.
