Ros Comer said her 11 players, who competed in the access all-abilities reserve division, had “put in a great effort and combined really well to win four of their six round-robin matches”, to qualify for the semi-finals.
Three of the wins – against Latrobe Valley, Chisholm-Doncaster and Wimmera-Mallee – were by convincing 22, 15 ad 14 goal margins.
A mixed competition, teams were allowed a maximum of three male player in their ranks.
Comer said unlike most of their opponents, the North Central-Golden City team did not boast three or four men in its line-up.
“This was the deciding factor in the semi-final, but despite being undermanned all, the girls gave 100 per cent and we lost to Elmer-Parkville by six goals,” she said.
The final was won 11-5 by Barwon against Elmer, which were the only two teams to defeat North Central-Golden City during the nine-team tournament.
