ACT women power into final

The ACT forwards were firing on all cylinders and while the feisty Arafurians were desperate in defense, they were torn apart by Vice Captain Karina Demant who kicked three majors for the term.

ACT racked up the possessions and the goals to head to the break with a 32-point lead over Arafura.

Demant started the second term as she left off, booting another 6-pointer to further extend the ACT lead.

It continued to rain goals, a second term highlight the clever pass from Casey Nugent that saw Danielle Peel convert from point blank range.

Arafura coach Andrew Cadzow urged his charges to play with courage, kick to space and increase their work rate but try as they might, they were no match for the hard running Territorians.

The championship debutants had a few chances prior to half time but were unable to convert, the ACT lead running out to 63-points at the big break.

ACT wasted several shots at goal early in the third term before Penny Wimot finally found a way between the sticks.

The Territory forwards were in dangerous form with Karina Demant bagging 6 goals for the game.

They repeatedly made Arafura pay for mistakes, ACT heading into the final break with a triple figure lead.

The final term was a training run for the ACT, the final score line reading 18.18 (132) to Arafura 0.2 (2)
