Women pushed to nail-biting win

THE Gatton Premier women are through to the Grand Final after a hard-fought win over Rockville.

Both teams played strong games and chances to score, but it was nil-all at half-time.

The score remained unchanged until a breakthrough by Jo Cook in the second half gave Gatton the lead.

Neither team was about to give up and Rockville equalised shortly after.

In the last few minutes of the game, Gatton was given a dot-shot which was beautifully put in the net by Abby Dennien.

The final score was 2-1 to Gatton.

The Premier women had a great game and are now ready to defend the title they won last year.
