Premiership cups up for grabs

Geelong Amateur defeated Barwon Heads in the Epworth Division 1 women’s preliminary final to earn a crack at Grovedale in the grand final this Sunday.

In an entertaining game, Ammos won 10.8(68) to 4.5(29) to keep their dream of three consecutive premierships alive.

Mardi Dangerfield and Danielle Sgarbi were best for Ammos.

Grovedale has won all three encounters this season, by two goals in a low-scoring round four game, by six points in round 11 and by a convincing 45 points in the semi-final.

In Division 2, St Joseph’s recovered from its first loss of the season in the semi-final to defeat Newtown & Chilwell in the preliminary final.

Joeys take on Anglesea in the decider with the Seas winning the semi-final contest by four goals.

Zoe Bourne was best afield in the prelim while Hannah Scott was good in front of the sticks with four goals.

Modewarre defeated Geelong Amateur in Division 3 and will play Belmont Lions in the decider.

In a low-scoring game, Modda won by 16 points with midfielder Monique Martin starring.
