Carisbrook have been playing some good football, even though it’s only resulted in one win so far in the Ballarat Football League Women’s season, but will look to land a standout result on Sunday when they host Lake Wendouree.

The Lady Redbacks were more than competitive for long passages against East Point last Friday night, conceding just one goal in each quarter before eventually going down by 19 points.
