The Brisbane Flames have taken out the Kooga Under 17 Youth Girls State Championships in Cairns with an undefeated performance from the defending Champions.
The Flames closest game was against South-East Queensland rivals, the Civil Unlimited Southern Stars with Brisbane winning by just 7 points. The Southern Stars’ only loss was to the Flames with the combined Darling Downs, Gold Coast & Northern Rivers team having another successful carnival after their runners up finish in 2011.
Well done also to Suncoast Storm, a culmination of Brisbane North & the Sunshine Coast entering their team in the competition for the first time. They finished a very creditable 4th on percentage over some strong teams.
The highlight of the carnival however was the Crusaders team who laughed their way through each game while playing some high quality football and eventually finishing a creditable third place. The girls off-field singing and dancing also kept the atmosphere up at Watson’s Oval culminating in a six team dance off after the final siren of the final game in the middle of the field.
All games were played in great spirit and high intensity making an unenviable job for Qld selectors to chose a squad for next year’s Under 18 Youth Girls State Championships to be held in May in Victoria.
Congratulations also to Hannah Sexton from the Brisbane Flames and Wendy Bristow from the Southern Stars for being joint winners of the Player of the Championships.
Congratulations to all the teams on their behaviour and good luck for next season.
