MATCH REPORT:
Kangaroo Flat stopped Sandhurst's unbeaten run with a thrilling three goal victory on Saturday afternoon. Sandhurst's A Reserve has not lost a game since grand final day 2008. The Flat's Nina Cass was cool under pressure scoring 24 goals from 28 attempts. She had not missed a scoring opportunity in the first half. Karly Bingham at wing attack was a calming influence on her team mates when the pressure was on in the final quarter. Kangaroo Flat held a one goal lead at the final break which Sandhurst soon levelled. It was only with a couple of minutes left on the clock that Kangaroo Flat gained a two goal break. Injury time to Sandhurst with less than 30 seconds remaining forced positional changes and the Flat scored one more goal for the win.

MATCH REPORT:
Sandhurst secured a grand final berth with an emphatic 23 goal win over Maryborough. A 20 goals to 5 second quarter gave the Hurst the ascendency when they played a more controlled game. The Hurst's Kelsey Sartori (GK) and Chloe Watson (GD) were an impenetrable defensive unit. Their height and skilful reading of the play limited Maryborough's attacking opportunities forcing their goalies to work extremely hard for the entire match.
