Women's Northern League: Kempsey Saints & Macleay Valley Rangers score wins

Kempsey Saints A grade women's side pulled up their white ribbon designed socks to the tune of a 3-0 win over the Camden Haven Redbacks on Saturday.

"He reminded us we were not just raising money but raising awareness as well. His speech really hit home."

"We haven't completed our donation tally yet but after originally aiming for $1000 it looks like we've reached $3000."
