Ammos win Div 1 flag

Geelong Amateur won the AFL Barwon Senior Female Division 1 premiership at Herne Hill Reserve in front of a large crowd on Sunday August 27.

Ammos prevailed over Grovedale 4.10(34) to 2.1(13) with a powerhouse first half.

Ammos led by 22 points at half time and although Grovedale had the only score – a goal – of the third term, the damage had been done.

Sophie Milsome booted two goals for Ammos and ruck Danielle Sgarbi, small forward Poppy Schaap (one goal) and Laura Ryan were best.

For Grovedale, Brooke Connolly, Natalie Worpel and Claire Macgill (one goal) never stopped trying to lift their side.

Geelong West won a thriller in the Division 2 grand final by one point against Thomson.

The Giants got out to a 13-point quarter-time lead, up scores were level at half and three-quarter time with the final scores 3.5(23) to 3.4(22) after extra time.

Alexandra Trezise was the only dual goalkicker on the ground with two for the Giants while midfidler Rorri Phibbs and Rhianan Woods were influential. Woods booted the match-winning behind in extra time.

Midfielder Teagan Tatlock and forward Madeline Chandler were stars for Thomson.

Modewarre took out the Division 3 premiership with a 6.0(36) to 1.8(14) win against North Geelong.

Modda was scoreless for the second and final terms, but booted four goals in the first quarter to set up the win.

Jorja Kirsopp-Cole kicked three goals for the Warriors while midfielder Monique Martin, Lily Bowers and Sophie McCartney were tireless contributors.

For the Magpies, Faith Qoon, Cody Dixon and Jasmine Coleman were superb and Mariah Conder booted the only major.
