East Warrnambool mentor Danny Chatfield is home with his family after spending time in Royal Melbourne Hospital.
He missed the Bombers' clash against fellow Warrnambool and District league struggler Dennington but his team did him proud, ending a 336-day win drought.
The Deakin University Female Football League under 18 season is in full swing.
The Standard photographer Anthony Brady captured action from the Warrnambool versus Stawell match, including Blue Sarah Moloney pictured above, on Sunday.
The Hampden league's attention turns to interleague this weekend.
Some players are in under injury clouds including Koroit spearhead Sam Dobson, who is keen to play under AFL triple premiership player Jonathan Brown.
Brown has led the Bottle Greens to back-to-back wins in his two years at the helm.

Go Bottle Greens!
Thanks,
