Irvine's unlikely injuries leave her sidelined for the Pigeons

But Yarrawonga co-coach Laura Irvine managed to cop both in one fell swoop against North Albury on Saturday.

In the last quarter of the Pigeons clash with the Hoppers Irvine collided with another player, with injuries to her toe and elbow the end result.

"It's a very odd combination," Irvine said.

"I'm not exactly sure how it happened.

"Me and another girl just went up for the same ball and collided and my legs might have been taken out from underneath me.

"I don't really know how the rest unfolded."

It's uncertain how long the star centre will be sidelined for as she awaits results on the extent of her injuries.

It follows an otherwise good year for Irvine, who racked up 150 A-grade games for Yarrawonga in round six as well as being selected in the Ovens and Murray interleague squad.

The incident put a dampener on the Pigeons 24-goal win during the weekend, which signaled their fifth for the season.

While Irvine makes the shift from playing coach to sideline coach alongside sister Kaitlyn Cummins, it opens up the opportunity for someone to fill her midcourt position in the coming weeks.

Young shooter Indianna Frauenfelder is one player that is likely to make the shift, after a consistent season in goals for the Pigeons.

"We've got a couple of younger girls we'll be able to throw into the midcourt," Irvine said.

"Kaitlyn's going away so it will just be me coaching from the sidelines for a couple of weeks, but that's probably easier than coaching from the court.

"That's one positive to come out of it."

Pigeons premiership goal shooter Bridget Cassar has also stepped up into the A-grade side recently.

While her focus remains B-grade this season, Cassar may be called upon in the weeks to come as the Pigeons continue to battle player unavailability and injuries.

Yarrawonga will now prepare to face Albury this weekend in a home game.

The Tigers are coming off the back of a 16 goal loss to the Wodonga Raiders during the weekend.

"It will be a tough game for us this week, so we just need to see what combinations will work best for us," Irvine said.

"We'll have to see how we can best manage the girls to go out there and have a really competitive game against Albury."
