Devils managed to win the third quarter by a goal, the small break not enough to unbalance the controlled Hornridge line-up.

Hornridge unaware of the massive lead they held at the final break continued with consistency, pressuring each and every pass forcing the turnover again and again.

The Devils pushed on until the final whistle but were again beaten by five goals.

The Green Devils’ season is over and the focus is now on the 2008 grand final where Hornridge will face Miners One this week.

All of the A1 teams have shown their best netball during the season.

Time will tell who will play their best on grand final night to become the 2008 premiers.

Final result Hornridge 1, 60 defeated Green Devils 42.

The A2 grand final produced some good viewing for the supporters at the start of the evening.

Initially Miners Two had control of the game against the Yellow Devils, it was through some impressive intercepting late in the first quarter by Vicki Hockley in defence that allowed the Yellow Devils to gain an early lead of three goals.

During the second quarter the Miners’ defenders Bryony Futerieal and Sharlene Vears worked hard in the defensive circle and were responsible for many turnovers.

Miners who had received good instruction during the first break dominated throughout the second quarter outscoring the Yellow Devils by 6 goals placing them in front by three goals at the main break.

Half time allowed the coaches to make some strategic position changes.

Libby Steer was brought into attack for Yellow Devils, the Devils utilising Steer's height in the goal circle.

Steer became a target for the running centre court, the ball was passed in from all angles.

Miners although having made some changes within the defensive circle were unable to compete with the height, strength and accuracy that the Devils threw their way.

With a six goal lead in favour of the Yellow Devils going in to the fourth quarter the game was still up for grabs.

Miners usually with a long player list were limited to any further changes and while they played a consistent, hard game the Yellow Devils were too good on the day.

Yellow Devils progressed through to the grand final with a final result of 43 to Miners 2, 32.

Yellow Devils head into the grand final with plans in mind to take on Hornridge Two this week.

Hornridge Two having had the week rest will be ready for a good match.

Our B grade game was an upset that would surely have been unpredicted.

Andamooka who finished second on the ladder throughout the minor rounds were defeated in overtime last week to the OD Devils.

This week they had the task of taking on the young Miners 3 team.

The Miners Three who were described as determined and passionate in their play were strong out from the first whistle, posting a healthy first quarter score of 12 over Andamooka's 7 goals.

Bonnie Maroney from Miners Three played a solid game attacking and defending opposing the experienced Amanda Whittaker, while Maroney's team mate Cassie Weir was accurate with her shooting abilities throughout the game.

Miners Three progressed through the second quarter pushing their lead further in front by another 4 goals, half time score Miners 3, 20 to Andamooka 11.

Both teams had reserves in hand and half time saw Andamooka make some necessary changes.

Erin Woolan for Andamooka who commenced the game in defence moved to attack into the goal shooting position.

Woolan was left with the task of resurrecting the team, a task that was performed well.

Woolan was accurate under immense pressure and with the combined efforts of her teammates the margin was reduced to a single goal at the final break.

Miners reaping the reward of new addition Mel Chevalier, who once again played a hand in the control of the Miners play and was also strong in the defensive circle, slowing the Andamooka attack.

The game continued to change hands on several occasions.

Andamooka at one point held a two-goal lead, this gap not wide enough Andamooka once again dropped away quite possibly due to fatigue.

The Miners with youth and fitness on their side had the legs to run out the remainder of the game, the final margin Miners 3, 38 defeated Andamooka 34.

An impressive win by the young Miners, the team now head to the grand final in their first season in the senior competition.

Miners 3 to oppose OD Devils who have experience on their side, but will that be enough to sustain a premiership win over youth and fitness with this talented junior side.
