Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) (17:38:10): I have the privilege of being the patron of the Eastern Suburbs Football Association women's competition, a role I take seriously as I seek to encourage women of all ages to play sport, exercise and look after their health and welfare. On Sunday we saw the grand finals across all grades kick off at Heffron Park. The all age women's division one final was played out between Coogee United Football Club [FC] and Waverley Old Boys. While I am a former Waverley Old Boys defensive player I promise I took no side during this heated match. The final was a wonderful display of athleticism, passion and talent. While both teams gave it their all, Coogee United FC walked away with the silverware, with a score of 1-0. However, it would be remiss of me if I did not also congratulate my old club, Waverley Old Boys, as the men's All Age 3s and All Age 7s both won their respective finals. I congratulate them on a good job.
