The Women’s football started their finals campaign on the weekend.
Despite having an undefeated run this season, they still had a tough job ahead of them these coming weeks.
Their first match up was Wandin.
Their last two games had a margin 56 points and 23 points, with the Burras taking the wins.
With that kind of history behind them, the team felt a surge of confidence.
They understood that pulling off yet another win wouldn’t be easy; it would require every player to fully commit and harness their strengths to perform at their best.
The match unfolded under the radiant sun in Olinda at 11.10am, and the warm and inviting weather made a challenging contest ahead.
From the first whistle, the Burras established their dominance, quickly taking control of the game.
By the end of the first quarter, they had built a commanding lead of 3.2-20 to Wandin’s solitary 1.0-6, setting the stage for an intense battle ahead.
The second quarter was much the same.
The Burras managed to secure another two goals and two behinds, to Wandin’s one goal, giving them a stronger lead heading into the half time break.
In the second half, the Burras showcased their strength and skill, particularly on the defensive end.
They effectively kept Wandin’s offense from scoring in the third quarter.
Converting their efforts into the board with more goals, the Burras built on their momentum, heading into the final term with a commanding 30 point lead.
Their performance not only highlighted their tactical ability but also their determination to secure victory.
In the final quarter, the girls maintained their relentless pace, adding two more goals to their impressive tally.
They also added an additional seven scoring shots, though these resulted in behinds, showcasing their offensive determination.
Again, the defence left Wandin scoreless in the last quarter, solidifying their grip on the match.
The final score was 8.13-61 to 2.0-12.
The Burras proudly claimed their spot in the Grand Final.
Lily Pagels, Emerson Woods, Gabby Woods, Scarlett Henderson, Scarlett Potter and Crystal Norris were the top performers of the match.
Scarlett Henderson kicked three goals, Lily Pagels with two, as well as Scarlett Potter and Madi Ward kicked one.
Week off next weekend and as the Burras prepare for the big day in the next two weeks.
