Belmont Lions and Inverleigh meet in this Saturday’s Geelong & District Netball League A Grade preliminary while Thomson eagerly awaits its grand final opponent.
Thomson will start favourites in the decider regardless of who it plays after putting the Lions away in emphatic fashion in the second semi-final, 68 to 25.
With Emma Witham dominating at goal attack, Amelia Jarvis patrolling the midcourt and Puonyuom Mathiang excelling in defence, the Tigers were way too good after quarter time.
The Lions will have one more chance and will face a slick Inverleigh side in the prelim.
After an even first half, the Hawks scored 12 goals to in the third term to lead by eight going into the final break.
Winchelsea needed early goals, but the Hawks stepped up and scored 12 to seven to run out 38 to 25 winners.
Ella Rice had a huge game at goal attack and Teagan Madden was superb at the other end of the court.
Grace Pullen tried her best in attack for the Blues.
