Savannah Reich - Female player of the month - september 2021

​Savannah Reich is the Hawks Female Player of the Month for September.
 
It’s fair to say that Savannah has sport coursing through her veins after being born into one of the best sporting families in the Ryde area.
 
Savannah is the niece of Tigers legend Benny Elias. He and other uncles played for the Tigers. She is also the cousin of Eels playmaker and Ryan Wilks member Mitchell Moses. It is easy to understand why touch football was her destiny. Savanna also excels at basketball and represents her school in rep basketball (Monte College North Sydney).
 
Her touch football career has seen her develop well from her early days. She has worked hard on her silky attacking skills and aggression in defence playing link or middle. She is one of the most popular members of the Hawks Club with her caring nature and desire to win at all costs for her team mates. Her ability to rise to the occasion when playing against the strong Clubs is something she prides herself on. Her fitness, competitiveness and the willingness to challenge herself combined with her never say die attitude inspires the players around her.
 
Savannah is also a strong leader with her actions and never backs down from a situation.
 
A recent mentor Darren Southcombe added “Sav is one of those players that you want in your team. She is first to training and last to leave. Her ability to lift the team on the field with a special play or a try saving touch inspires everyone around her. Her aggression in defence is her trademark and lifts her team mates. Whilst she is still developing as a player, she is certainly on the right path to play Premier League for the Hawks”.
 
Congratulations to Savannah on being the Hawks Female Player of the Month.
