AIRPORT TOYOTA WOMEN’S PREMIER DIVISION

REIGNING PREMIERS KNOCKED OUT, ABERS INTO BIG DANCE

After a stunning entry into the final four to hand Aberfeldie their first loss, the reigning premiers in Keilor have been knocked out of the finals by Moonee Valley.

The Blues enjoyed a strong start to the game kicking the only goal of the first quarter to take a six point lead into the first change.

The Fog were on the offensive in the second quarter kick two of their own while holding Keilor scoreless, leading by 10 point at half time.

With everything on the line, Keilor dragged back the margin to just three points and fought hard in the last quarter before Georgia Marsland iced the game with two vital goals.

The Fog won by 10 points with Georgia Marsland kicked three of their four goals to book their meeting with Oak Park following their three-goal loss to Aberfeldie.

Alex Quigley played a lone hand up front for Oak Park kicking all three of their goals, with Erica Markesich matching the sharpshooter up the other end with some assistance from teammates to secure a comfortable win in the end.

The Kangaroos have enjoyed two comfortable victories over Moonee Valley in their two meetings during the home and away season, but we’ve come to learn that the girls from Ormond Park are not to be underestimated.

Motta The Hero For Jets

Greenvale have booked their Grand Final spot after a stirring win over Burnside Heights, Talia Motta the hero kicking a goal with four seconds to go to put the Jets up by two points.

The Jets trailed by 15 points at the final change and peppered the goal face, holding the Bears scoreless in the last quarter.

That was Motta’s second goal of the day in a best on ground performance with Nicolette Paschalis chipping in with another.

The Bears controlled much of the day and were led by their stars in Brodie Stevens, Kayla Ravanello, Krissy Trang and co.

Burnside Heights will face Essendon Doutta Stars this week who enjoyed a strong 49-point win over Gisborne.

It was a dominant performance from start to finish for Douttas who extended their lead at every break, before Gisborne kicked their only three goals in the final quarter to reduce the three quarter time margin by a goal.

They had a number of contributors across the ground and will face Aberfeldie 2 after their heavy defeat to flag favourites Airport West.
