Grand final awaits Koroit and North

KOROIT’S Open netballers and North Warrnambool’s senior footballers have won their way through to a Hampden League grand final day appearance after convincing wins last weekend.

In the Open netball qualifier last Saturday, the Saints defeated ladder leaders South Warrnambool 58-49.

Indi O’Connor, Scarlett O’Donnell and Shelby O’Sullivan were best for the Saints while for South, Hollie Phillips, Meg Kelson and Kelly Thompson were among the best.

The Roosters will now face Warrnambool in tomorrow’s preliminary final at Melville Oval.

The last time the two sides met, back in round 13, only three goals separated them, with the Blues taking the win 42-39.

Another tightly contested match is expected this weekend.

In the senior football, North Warrnambool topped off a successful home and away season with a narrow five-point win over the third-placed Koroit Saints last Saturday.

The Eagles’ Nathan Vardy led the goal scorers for his side, adding three to the board, and was named in the best along with team-mates Sam McLachlan, Jackson Grundy, Lachlan Wines, Harry Keast and Angus Noske.

Koroit will now take on South Warrnambool (who accounted for Warrnambool by a creditable 52 points in Sunday’s final at Camperdown) in tomorrow’s preliminary final, with both clubs eager for a shot at the premiership flag
