Women’s Senior Division 1

Qualifying Finals: Geelong Amateur vs St Mary's

It was a dominant display by Geelong Amateur last weekend. They were on top from the start and gave St Mary’s absolutely no freedom to play their game. Danielle Gaylard was outstanding for Geelong Amateur as was Analea McKee. McKee was the tip of the spear up forward for Ammos finishing with four goals. Ella Firth was named the best for St Mary’s.

Geelong Amateur now move to the Grand Final while St Mary’s has a date with Grovedale in the Preliminary Finals. The Saints have won their past two encounters with the Tigers. Last time it was St Mary’s by 11 points. The match will be held at McDonald Reserve this Sunday.

Best

Geelong Amateur: D. Gaylard, S. Riley, L. De Groot, J. Dorward, Cheryl De Groot, F. Hocking

St Mary’s: E. Firth, B. Mallia, T. Ryan, D. Stewart, K. Houghton, L. Gibbs

Goals

Geelong Amateur: 4 A. McKee, R. Arnold, C. De Groot, D. Gaylard

St Mary’s: Emma Allen

Final Score

Geelong Amateur: 7.8 (50)

St Mary’s: 1.1 (7)

Elimination Finals: Newtown & Chilwell vs Grovedale

This game was very close. But what gave Grovedale the victory, was their ability to convert. The Tigers also had four individual goal scorers to Newtown & Chilwell’s two. Emily Kenshole was the leading goal kicker on the ground with a pair of majors for Newtown & Chilwell, while Chloe Adams and newly crowned Division 1 Best & Fairest winner Alana Tully, were among the best for Grovedale.

Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for the Eagles after finishing third on the ladder to finish their Home & Away season. For Grovedale, it’s off to McDonald Reserve to face St Mary’s. As stated before, the Tigers haven’t been able to defeat St Mary’s all year, but this is Finals, and anything can happen on the day.

Best

Newtown & Chilwell: C. Blakeway, R. Goring, A. Favell, M. Morrissy, B. Murphy-Bowen, M. Janssen

Grovedale: C. Adams, T. Hassett, A. Tully, E. Worpel, O. Kyatt, A. McLean

Goals

Newtown & Chilwell: 2 E. Kenshole, B. Wells

Grovedale: C. Adams, W. Hoffmann, D. Lodge, A. McLean

Final Score

Newtown & Chilwell: 3.6 (24)

Grovedale: 4.3 (27)

Women’s Senior Division 2

Elimination Finals: St Mary’s vs Torquay

Talk about an upset. St Mary’s have defeated Torquay twice this season but in Finals the past means naught. The Saints were in control for three terms, but due to sheer willpower, the Tigers got back in the game and pinched victory in the final term. Jaimie Castledine and Grace O'Kane each finished with two goals for their respective teams while Vanessa Rischitelli was named Best on Ground for Torquay.

Early in the season, Torquay and Drysdale have had some nailbiters. Drysdale got the chocolates in Round 1, but Grovedale snatched victory from the Hawks in Round 5. The Last time they met, however, Drysdale were dominant. This should be a tight contest with the winner going on to meet St Joseph’s at the big dance.

Best

St Mary’s: L. McDonald, B. Gaylor, V. Nihill, S. Everitt, E. Host, H. Stansfield

Torquay: V. Rischitelli, B. Angell, K. Ryan, S. O'Meara, K. Doonan, G. O'Kane

Goals

St Mary’s: 2 J. Castledine, C. Elsworth, M. Sherman

Torquay: 2 G. O'Kane, J. Maney, L. Owens, Private Player

Final Score

St Mary’s: 4.3 (27)

Torquay: 5.3 (33)

Qualifying Finals: St Joseph’s vs Drysdale

After a slow start, St Joseph’s jumped Drysdale in the second term and continued their dominance until the final siren. Charlotte Simpson had a day out for Joey’s while Jane Burch and Emmalyn Nekrep combined to score four majors. Jessie Morrow played a good game on a tough day for Drysdale.

The Hawks now have a chance at redemption heading into the Preliminary Finals this weekend. Their output in the last match against Grovedale was superb, but Grovedale will be no easy target. The Hawks will have to fight for four quarters if they want to make the Grand Final.

Best

St Joseph’s: C. Simpson, K. West, Z. Penno, K. Hardingham, A. Greaves, T. Lewis

Drysdale: J. Morrow, K. Atkinson, Tahli Benson, Emily Allan, Tara Smith, Josie Taylor

Goals

St Joseph’s: 2 J. Burch, 2 E. Nekrep, K. Hardingham, G. Incigneri, K. Kvant, T. Lewis, C. Simpson, M. Vials

Drysdale: M. Judd

Final Score

St Joseph’s: 10.11 (71)

Drysdale: 1.4 (10)

Women’s Senior Division 3

Qualifying Finals: Anglesea vs South Barwon

Like most of the ladder leaders throughout the Women’s Senior Divisions, Anglesea was victorious. But not by much. They almost lost the game due to pure inaccuracy despite owning the ball. With 15 scoring shots, they only converted two. South Barwon just fell away by four points. Division 3 Best & Fairest winner Maggie Caudullo, was named the best for the Swans with two majors.

Anglesea has punched in their Grand Final ticket as South Barwon prepares to face a defiant North Geelong outfit. The Swans have had a healthy record over the Magpies, but in their last match, South Barwon only won by three points. Beware the Magpies!

Best

Anglesea: l. Firth, P. Lingam, R. Krenkels, O. Ritchie, A. Abbott, S. Bray

South Barwon: M. Caudullo, D. Wilson, J. Johnston, M. Puckett, A. Nicholson, C. Cox

Goals

Anglesea: l. Firth, C. King

South Barwon: 2 M. Caudullo, T. Coleman

Final Score

Anglesea: 2.13 (25)

South Barwon: 3.3 (21)

Elimination Finals: Lara vs North Geelong

A quick start by North Geelong saw Lara fight back in the second term. The third quarter turned into a tug of war, but in the final act, North Geelong put the foot on the accelerator to claim a convincing win. Division 3 Best & Fairest Runner Up Faith Qoon, was named among the best for North Geelong with Kaitlyn Bonney & Cecilia Lowrey, scoring two snags apiece. The best for Lara was Kara Stacey.

Lara's journey has come to an end, but North Geelong have an upcoming fight on their hands. South Barwon will be eager to make amends after losing a tight game to Anglesea. But the Magpies are every chance to win this game and make the Grand Final. It’s a big fight before the main event this Sunday at McDonald Reserve.

Best

Lara: K. Stacey, Private player, E. Wilson-Macdonald, E. Henda, K. Smith, P. Scott

North Geelong: J. Coleman, F. Qoon, C. Lowrey, A. Scheitner, M. Rentsch, K. Bonney

Goals

Lara: 2 E. Henda, K. Smith

North Geelong: 2 K. Bonney, 2 C. Lowrey, J. Coleman, F. Qoon

Final Score

Lara: 3.7 (25)

North Geelong: 6.4 (40)

Division 1

Preliminary Finals: St Mary’s vs Grovedale

St Mary’s were looking for redemption after their first match of the Finals and they found it last Sunday. A quick two-goal start had the Saints get on top of Grovedale early. The Tigers managed to kick their first major of the day in the second term to go into halftime only nine points down. But the second half saw a dominant display by St Mary’s with Grovedale having no answers. The charge was led by the influence of midfielders Millie Johnson and Ella Firth for Saints. Defender Olivia Kyatt was named the best for Grovedale.

Now it’s off to the big dance for St Mary’s. In the Qualifying Finals, Geelong Amateur were in a league of their own. Ammos have awesome firepower up forward in Analea McKee and Cheryl de Groot. They also have the Division 1 joint runner-up for the Best & Fairest winner Danielle Gaylard in the ruck. But St Mary’s have some weapons of their own. Brooke Mallia has been in good form of late in the ruck and Danielle Stewart is a jet in the midfield. Add other joint runner-up for the Best & Fairest Tahley Houghton to the mix, and St Mary's looks dangerous.

St Mary’s has beaten Geelong Amateur two times in a row early this season, but Ammos have won their last three encounters. This one looks set for a very entertaining battle.

Best

St Mary’s: V. Nihill, M. Johnson, E. Firth, K. Houghton, Private Player

Grovedale: O. Kyatt, E. Worpel, E. Mahoney, C. Adams, T. Hassett, L. Fitzgibbon

Goals

St Mary’s: B. Cheever, A. Haigh, K. Houghton, I. Kirby, B. Mallia

Grovedale: C. Adams, A. McLean

Final Score

St Mary’s: 5.15 (45)

Grovedale: 2.1 (13)

Division 2

Preliminary Finals: Drysdale vs Torquay

After a slow first quarter, the Tigers ran rampant for the rest of the match. Kate Doonan’s run on the outside had her named the best for Torquay. Grace O’Kanee and Sophie O’Meara scored two snags apiece with several other Tigers contributing to the scoreboard. Division 2 Best & Fairest winner Tara Smith, was named the best for Drysdale.

This Sunday the real fight begins. St Joseph's and Torquay have met twice this year for one win each over the other. Joeys forward Jane Burch has kicked 16 goals for the season with Emmalyn Nekrep behind her with 14. Nekrep has genuine speed. Keeley Hardingham is a tower in the ruck and has pushed forward many times this season to claim nine goals.

Torquay doesn’t necessarily have that kind of power up forward like St Joseph’s. What they do have, is great midfield. Sophie O'Meara & Kate Ryan are genuine ball winners with Vanessa Rischitelli providing them with plenty of ball in the ruck.

Another game of strong tactics will determine who can get the better of whom, but we won’t find the answer until the final siren this weekend.

Best

Drysdale: T. Smith, T.Benson, J. Morrow, L. Foote, C. Edmanson, M. Egan

Torquay: K. Doonan, B. Angell, L. Owens, G. O'Kane, S. O'Meara, S. Peacock

Goals

Drysdale: B. Deckker, J. Taylor

Torquay: 2 G. O'Kane, 2 S. O'Meara, J. Maney, J. Smith, L. Burns, S. Peacock

Final Score

Drysdale: 2.6 (18)

Torquay: 8.9 (57)

Division 3

Preliminary Finals: South Barwon vs North Geelong

South Barwon were out to make a point and they were hungry. Chloe Cox was causing all kinds of headaches up forward for the North Geelong defence. Cox finished her day kicking seven goals for the Swans. Ayesha Nicholson was named the best for South Barwon with her dominant rebound off halfback. Faith Qoon was named once again in the best for North Geelong.

South Barwon are now off to meet Anglesea on Sunday in the Grand Final. If they can bring that same fight and free up Cox in the forward line, they are more than a chance. Last time Anglesea dominated the scoring count but couldn’t convert most of their chances.

If Division 3 Best & Fairest winner Maggie Caudullo and her midfield group can get on top of Anglesea in the centre of the ground, that will make the difference. That being said, Lahnee Firth and Phoebe Lingam are no pushovers. This one might be even closer than the last encounter.

Best

South Barwon: A. Nicholson, C. Cox, D. Wilson, G. Pickard, A. Muir, M. Puckett

North Geelong: F. Qoon, J. Coleman, C. Lowrey, T. Drever, A. Wilkes, M. Rentsch

Goals

South Barwon: 7 C. Cox, M. Caudullo, A. Muir

North Geelong: K. Bonney

Final Score

South Barwon: 9.9 (63)

North Geelong: 1.3 (9)
