WOMEN’S SOUTH CONFERENCE FINAL
KILSYTH 58 (Kerr 13, Perera 13) def. by KNOX 71 (Denson 20, Wilson 15)
Kilsyth had earned home court advantage, having defeated the Raiders in their Semi-Final clash, but Knox proved they don’t mind traveling, opening up a 3-point lead at quarter time. They extended it to 8 by halftime, and with a 23-13 third period the game looked all but over. The Lady Cobras played out the match to their credit, reducing the margin to 11 at one stage in the final term but Knox’s effort was superior in the end. After a stellar match last week, Amy Denson backed up her performance with 20 points and 14 rebounds. She was aided by Kelly Wilson who recorded 15 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Hayley Moffatt led from the front for Kilsyth with 3 steals and although the home side won that category, they had 11 less rebounds and 6 less assists. The Raiders were deadly as a team from long range, finishing with 7-15 from the three point line, with Wilson shooting 3-6.

WOMEN’S EAST CONFERENCE FINAL
DANDENONG 88 (Terdich 14, Papavs 14) def GEELONG 47 (Williamson 11, Rogers 10)
Having soundly beaten Geelong just a fortnight ago in the Semi-Final, Dandenong were not in a kind mood again on Saturday, jumping out to a 12 point lead by the first break with the Supercats restricted to a paltry 6 points and shooting just 18% from the field. Any hope of a comeback was soon trounced, as the Rangers extended their advantage to 22 at halftime and 33 by three quarter time. In an ominous sign for their opponents next week, the home side kept the pedal to the floor for the entire match, eventually winning by a devastating 41 points. Every Dandenong player scored, with their starters earning important rest throughout the second half. The visitors shot just 1-9 from the three point line and were -13 in rebounds, -4 in assists, -9 in steals and +14 in turnovers. Hope Terdich shot at 60% from the field and pulled down 7 rebounds while for the visitors, Deanna Smith managed just 1-10 for 6 points.
