That’s the spirit: Women walk for others
WOMEN on a three-day walk from Frankston to Cape Schanck earlier this month aimed to “inspire and empower those experiencing disadvantage and transform their lives through fitness, health and wellbeing activities”.
The Women’s Spirit Walk – the Frank to Schanck Challenge – set off from Frankston pier on Friday 30 April with about 70 women and some men on a mission to reach Cape Schanck lighthouse by Sunday afternoon, 2 May.
Founder and managing director of Women’s Spirit Project Jodie Belyea said one-in-four women experienced mental health issues, family violence and/or social isolation. “Fitness, health and wellbeing are crucial to living a balanced, purposeful and passionate life, however, opportunities to participate in these activities are not financially accessible to all women – many in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas,” she said.
Yabbies struggle against Sharks
SEWF PREMIER
TYABB’S dominant start to the SEWF Premier season has come to an end at the hands of the St Kilda Sharks.
The Yabbies were dominant in their first two games of the year, but faced a tougher challenge at home against the Sharks. St Kilda piled on the pressure early with a six goals to zero opening term.
Tyabb were able to stop the onslaught throughout the second and third quarters, but play opened up again in the final term.
A five goals to zero quarter saw St Kilda run out dominant winners over Tyabb 2.6 (18) to 13.7 (85).
