St Philomenas girls home in a thriller
Up against cross town rivals and 2011 State Champions Assumption School, St Philomenas clawed their way from behind to over run their opposition with less than 15 seconds left on the clock. The final score was St Philomenas 2.0 (12) to Assumption 1.1 (7).
Both teams were undefeated heading into the finals setting up what would be a fierce, competitive battle to the final siren. It looked like Assumption would run away leading for the majority of the game, but St Philomenas were determined they would not be beaten.
Like the girls, Assumption and Calare Public boys both went in to the final undefeated. But there was only ever going to be one winner on the day and that was Assumption School.
In contrast to the girls match, it was one-way traffic with Assumption being too strong for Calare. Final Score: Assumption 9.5 (59) def Calare Public 0.3 (3).
Assumption boys and St. Philomenas girls will now travel to Canberra on July 25 for the Paul Kelly Cup Zone Final.
