Kiahna Fallon won some good-natured bragging rights over her sister Tyra as St Joseph’s defeated South Barwon in the Geelong Netball League qualifying final.
Kiahna, who crossed to Joeys from South Barwon this season, lined up against sister Tyra with the Swans prevailing 50 to 32 in a game they never really looked like losing.
While the siblings didn’t actually play on each other, they were both in midcourt with Kiahna at wing defence and Tyra at centre.
Goal shooter Ella Closter was on target with 44 goals from 51 attempts for Joeys.
Geelong West Giants have already gone one better than last season, winning a final at St Mary’s expense and will meet South Barwon on Sunday in the first semi-final.
The Giants got off to a good start, leading by five at the first break and would pretty much keep that buffer for the entire game.
In horrible conditions that made goal shooting tough, Geelong West prevailed 37 to 28.
The Giants’ 37 goals came from 51 attempts while the Saints goal accuracy was well down with their 28 from 49 attempts.
It was a memorable 100th game for Geelong West captain Aleisha McDonald, who bucked the goal accuracy trend with 12 from 13 shots.
