While Boyle celebrated 150 games at the club during Power's clash against Lockhart last weekend, Hanrahan reached 200 games a round earlier.

For both players, it's the only club they've ever known.

"It's been my one and only club since I was six-years-old," Hanrahan said.

However, this season has seen the pair taken out of their comfort zones and into new positions on the court.

"Last year I was GA and GS and Em was predominantly a defender in GD and GK," Hanrahan said.

"But this year we've swapped.

"I'm playing mostly WA and Em is more versatile, she can play anywhere, but she has mainly been shooting.

"I was really devastated at the start because I love shooting goals, but now that I'm out on the wing it's working well.

"Being a shooter, I know where they want the ball in the ring, so it's been good to feed in.

"I'm loving my new position."

The shift appears to be paying off for the Power, who have posted three wins so far this season against Henty, Murray Magpies and Culcairn.

It's already two more victories than that of the 2019 season.

"It's good to finally get some wins," Hanrahan said.

"Everyone's worked really hard to adapt to their new positions," Boyle agreed.

"For us particularly who have been around the club for a while, it's been nice to appreciate different dynamics."

Boyle knows what it's like to reach the ultimate success with the club.

The 2016 season under current Lavington coach Catherine Wood remains one of her biggest highlights in the Power colours.

"I was only 15 turning 16 and we had our first A-grade premiership in close to 25 years," she said.

"That was pretty special to be a part of."

When the friends aren't on the court together, they're both working as nurses.

While Boyle has started her graduate year as a district nurse, Hanrahan is studying midwifery in the maternity ward.

Although facing the challenges presented with Covid has been tricky, they admit they've been lucky.

"This weekend is the first time where we have questioned whether we'll be able to go ahead with the round in the Hume League," Boyle said.

"Compared to the challenges everyone else has had, particularly the Victorian leagues, we've been really lucky."

Hanrahan is the first to admit you can find plenty of her relatives around the club, but Boyle believes CDHBU is like one big family.

"It's such a close community," she said.

"They've taught me so many things, even just being able to have someone to jump in the car with on your learners license.

"It's always been a very supportive community, which is special.

"We're all very club proud."
