Star Tasmanian local footballer Thomasa Corrie celebrated her 150th Southern Football League women's game at the weekend.

Coinciding with her personal milestone, the Claremont player also designed her club's Indigenous jumper as part of the Southern Football League's Indigenous round celebrations.

The Magpies produced excellent football from the opening bounce to eventually win the contest against University by 21 points.

Claremont 3.9 (27) defeated University 1.0 (6) at Abbotsfield Park with Corrie judged best on ground.

Corrie has had an outstanding career in Tasmania, including playing 74 games for Glenorchy and 18 for Lauderdale before joining Claremont.

She has won multiple club best-and-fairest honours, represented Tasmania, won a SFLW premiership and SFLW best-and-fairesttm, among other achievements.

The Claremont Football Club took to social media to acknowledging Corrie's milestone.

"On behalf the Club and its members we congratulate 'Masa' for everything she has done and achieved throughout her playing career so far," the club said, via Facebook.

"The number of people including junior players who look up to Masa as a role model for women's football goes to show the type of person she is – the quiet achiever with so much passion and knowledge for the game!"

Corrie's Indigenous strip design was a representation of who she is as a person and what playing for Claremont means to her.

The hands on the back of the jumper represent the club's culture and bond with each other and the community, while the footprints represents the journey to get to where they are.

The front of the jumper features two prominent stripes.

The first stripe, with the Southern Football League logo, represent both the men's and women's teams. The meeting place (club rooms) in the middle unite the two teams and symbolise the club coming together.

There is also a shining sign under the women's symbol, representing their 'star' qualities and how the club are reigning premiers.

The second stripe features the Magpies logo and includes bird prints that represent all the Magpies family past and present, while the footprints are for all the club's volunteers and supporters.

It also depicts a few stops to gather at watering holes along the way.

Claremont currently sit on top of the SFLW Division Two ladder undefeated with seven wins.
