00:00Hi, I'm Zoe Asprey. I am the A grade playing coach at Newland Football Netball Club.

00:07And when did you come and sign on with Newland?

00:09This is my first year at Newland and my first year in Central Highlands.

00:14How's your experience been so far?

00:16Amazing, amazing. Newland Football Netball Club is the most welcoming, lovely community, family place.

00:22The girls are incredible. They're eager to learn, eager to win and yeah, I've had the best year.

00:28And congratulations on making it to the first round of finals. You've got the game against Beaufort on Saturday.

00:33How are you going to be approaching that one?

00:35Very exciting. Beaufort are a very strong team. It'll just be about coming out strong, getting a red hot start

00:43and trying to shut down Eliza Newton, who's just amazing in the goal ring.

00:48And yeah, just playing a full seven attack, full seven defence.

00:51And what about for the rest of the season? Are you hoping to find yourself?

00:55Not putting all eggs in the basket. Ideal situation, bringing home the silverware,

00:59but obviously just chipping away at each game, going as far into that final series as possible

01:04and also having a bit of fun, which would be perfect.
