Booting milestones

It was a game Barooga dominated, sending the Swans packing with a score of 7.4 (46) to the Swans’ 2.2 (14).

For Bain, kicking a goal — her first of the season — was just the icing on the cake.

Since joining Barooga from Blighty in 2024, Bain has played primarily as a key defender.

The talented footballer also played two games in the Murray Bushrangers under-15 division one outfit last year.

It was a special day, too, for Barooga women’s full forward Claudia Leighton-Daly, who played her 50th club game when the Hawks met Rumbalara on Sunday.

Like Bain, Leighton-Daly also made things that little more sweet for herself by booting Barooga’s only major that game.

Leighton-Daly played with Barooga in 2018 and 2019 in the fourths, before returning to step into the women’s side last year.
