Women's Semi Final Results

Canterbury v Manly

Going straight through to the Semi Final, Canterbury were fresh and got the ball rolling by none other than their Top Dog - Louise Winchester who took off from half and found an open player player to score. Manly were sick of this sight early on in the game with Squeeze repeating this another two times in the first seven minutes of the game.

Touch Football fans will not get sick of the sight of Danni Davis from Manly who is a star of the future. A massive long ball to open Manly's account and wonderful individual effort to score herself two highlights.

Manly cared little for the five titles Canterbury have already won with their young line-up showing youthful exuberance which is refreshing to watch. Manly levelled up the scores four a piece with nine minutes to go but it was none other than Louise Winchester to break through from half and find an open player to score and break the deadlock. Kelly Woods broke the Manly hearts with four minutes to play by setting up again from half and give Canterbury the game six touchdowns to four.

Full credit to the Manly girls and their coaches Barry Gibson and Anthony Dudeck, Semi Finalists two years in a row at State Cup and they have the talent to go further in the future.

Canterbury will play Wollongong in the Grand Final which will be a replay of both the 2011 Vawdon Cup Final and 2010 State Cup Final.

Easts Roosters v Wollongong Devils

The Wollongong Devils have progressed through to the New South Wales State Cup Women’s Open grand final, after defeating Easts Roosters (1) in a drop-off.

Wollongong took the early lead before Easts hit back to level the game at 1-all. The game followed a similar pattern, with Wollongong taking the lead on several occasions, only for Easts to hit back to level the game.

Wollongong was the first team to have possession in the drop-off, and made the most of their set, with Cara Zaremski scoring. Easts were unable to hit back in their return set, with Wollongong taking the game 5-4.

The final will see strong rivals Canterbury and Wollongong battle it out once again, with the teams having a great rivalry over recent times.

The Bulldogs won the 2010 State Cup title over the Devils in a drop-off, before the Devils were 7-5 winners over Canterbury in the 2011 Vawdon Cup final.
