Creed, Shipard Shields kick off with big wins

Co-captain Tamara Cochrane found goals four times throughout the match, with Hania Sulaiman and Narmin Kambar each scoring once also.

Wagga High co-captain Elvein Ibrahim said that Cochrane is a key player for the side as they look deeper into the competition.

With several of last year's winning team not returning to the competition this year, Ibrahim said it will be a challenge but she hopes the side will continue to be competitive throughout their games.

Kooringal captain Katie Blake said her side is still very young and developing.

She expects they'll have tough games every week, and will utilise this year's competition to gain experience.

It wasn't just the opening game that was a blowout, with Wagga High's Creed Shield side and Kildare Catholic College's Shipard Shield side both having significant wins.

Wagga High smashed Mount Austin 13-0 in the 4:30pm Creed game before a much closer 1-1 draw between Kildare Catholic College and The Riverina Anglican College at 6pm.

In the second Shipard Shield game Kildare had their first win of the year over Mater Dei, finishing up 5-1.
