Weekly Advertiser | Nhill coach Melissa Polkinghorne hopes a one-goal win over Minyip-Murtoa will give the Tigers momentum heading into the second half of the Wimmera league A Grade season.

While Saturday’s win was only Nhill’s second this season, Polkinghorne said the focus for the newly created team had been on creating processes, working on connections and building team morale.

But with a more settled side heading into the second half of the season, the Tigers are hoping to add a few more wins to their name.

“We’re a brand new team, so we’re not getting ahead of ourselves,” Polkinghorne said.

“We’re just focusing week by week, really just working on connections and really working on the team morale and I think wins will come from that. We always say focus on the process and the outcomes will come.”

Polkinghorne said the Tigers would aim to better each of their performances compared to how they fared against each team in the first half of the season.

The return of last year’s playing coach Emma Schilling, formerly Hawker, and Megan Harrison, will boost the Tigers’ defence end.
