Dream football return for Tiah Haynes

Friday, July 31, 2020 - 9:44 AM - by Chris Pike
SPORT is capable of providing some of the most remarkable heartfelt stories and the WAFL Women's competition had its own dream return in Round 1 in the form of Subiaco inspiration Tiah Haynes. It had been two years since Haynes had last run onto the football field and with the devastating knee and shoulder injuries she's been through, you can understand why there were times she doubted whether she could make it back.

ROUND 2 of the Optus WAFL Premiership Season saw South Fremantle, Claremont and Perth remain undefeated while East Fremantle bounced back impressively and we have quite the exciting talent named the Player of the Round.
