Strathfieldsaye will have another chance to qualify for this season’s grand final when it tackles Sandhurst in this weekend’s preliminary final.

The Dragons set up their preliminary final appearance with a win over Sandhurst Marist Dockers a fortnight ago.

Meanwhile, Sandhurst has advanced to the grand final in the top under-14 grade following a hard-fought win against Kyneton.

The Dragons led at every change, including by 15 points at three-quarter time.

Kyneton booted the only goal of the final term, but could only get as eight points to the impressive Dragons, who won 6.5 (41) to 5.3 (33).

The Tigers will play Golden Square in next weekend’s preliminary final in the hopes of getting another crack at the Dragons in a fortnight’s time.

In under-12 A, St Francis A proved it would be hard to match come grand final day following a convincing victory over Strathfieldsaye.

St Francis won 10.4 (64) to 2.1 (13), with Charlie Edwards leading the way with four goals.

The young star has 25 goals alongside his name for the season, including a combined total of eight in his past two games, and looms as a key on grand final day.

Lachlan Kelly, Noah Warfe and Malik Gordon contributed two goals apiece for St Francis.

The Storm will need to get past Kyneton A in the preliminary final if it is to challenge St Francis once more.

In under-12 B, St Therese’s is the first team through to the grand final, after defeating St Monica’s 6.3 (39) to 5.0 (30).

The Roos will get another chance to qualify for the grand final against Strathfieldsaye, which moved into to the preliminary final with a 23 point win over Kyneton.
