FINAL
New South Wales 3 v Victoria 1 (1-1 half time)
Goals – NSW McGarity 11m PC/59m PC, VIC Lanning 20m PC, NSW Forsyth 54m FG

The Victorian U18 Women’s State Team fell gallantly to NSW in the final of the Australian Championship in Canberra.

New South Wales, winners in 2008 and 2009 were ready to make a hat trick, whilst Victoria were keen to reclaim the shield after their last win 2004.

With plenty of support for both teams, New South Wales were quickest out of the blocks with a penalty corner conversion at the 11 minute mark by captain Claire McGarity. Within the space of ten minutes Victoria’s consistent goal scorer Meg Lanning responded to level the scores 1-1.

With less than two minutes remaining to half time New South Wales had an opportunity to go 2-1 up, however were unable to convert, keeping the score level at half time.

In the opening minutes of the second half was intense as both teams tried to claim possession. New South Wales were able to score their second for the match and a short time later followed this up with their third goal, Claire McGarity’s second for the match and held off Victoria to secure victory and the championship.

Congratulations to the Victorian Girls and especially Lucy for such a great tournament and for making the Grand Final!

In the second semi final of the day Victoria, currently 2nd took on 3rd placed Western Australia. In another tightly contested match of the day, the first goal of the match was scored late in the first half by Victoria’s top scorer Meg Lanning. 

Victoria went into the second half with a 1-0 lead however it was Western Australia who was able to bounce back and level the scores with a field goal by Courtney Pickford at the 44 minute mark. Victoria converted their second goal for the match shortly thereafter to edge ahead 2-1.
