A Division Finals
Glenmore Park Druids to take on the Blacktown Butchers
Elimination Final Richmond Ravens vs. Werrington County Sonics
With both teams season on the line they had plenty to play for. The loser out of the race this year. The winner onto play in the preliminary final with a shot to make the grand final. Pretty even 1st half, tight marking and high percentage play limited shots. 0-0 halftime. As the pressure built and desperation started to set in teams began to give away penalties. For Ravens James Dymond, Craig Horsley, Jo Mitchell and Dane Hansen sat for 2 minutes, while for Sonics, Dee Scarano and Scott Murray both got penalties. However no goals in any of the penalties. It was left to Jason Wheeler to score the winner and elimate Ravens and progress Sonics. Still a good season for Ravens who are now showing they can match it with the other A teams on a regular basis. Sonics throught to play the loser of Druids and Butchers.

Qualifying Final Glenmore Park Druids vs. Blacktown Butchers
1st vs 2nd, the prize for winning this one a spot in the A division grand final. Like the elimination final this game was tight in the 1st half, both teams playing tight D, applying good forecheck pressure meaning few chances and a scoreless 1st half. Druids broke the game open with an early goal to Saxon Hooper, breaking on a turn over, holding off a defender and slotting it past the keeper. The goal put Druids into their shell slightly, content to defend their lead. Butchers amped up the pressure and domined posession, but couldnt crack Druids defence. With only 13 seconds on the clock, with the goalie pulled, a turn over allowed Saxon Hooper to lob a ball from just over the defensive blue line into the open net to seel the win. 2-0 Druids.. into the Grand final. For Butchers, Sonics awaited them in the preliminary final.

Preliminary Final Werrington County Sonics vs. Blacktown Butchers
All to play for, the winner into the grand final, the loser out for the season. As per most finals, it was tight in the 1st half, not space given and 0-0. The 2nd half opened up a bit, but some scrambling D and amazing blocks off the line kept the score 0-0. With only 6 minutes on the clock a lobbed ball from martin Sultana to a charging Louis Sultana caught the keeper in two minds. Not really committing to coming out and not getting low to block the shot, caught in between Louis Sultan somehow squirted a shot past the keeper. The 1-0 lead enough to put Butchers into the Grand final.

B Division Finals
Huskies vs DruidsB in the Decider
Elimination Final DruidsB vs. Raptors
DruidsB have struggled a bit for numbers this season, but when they have a full team can match it with anyone in B grade. Raptors also have been a bit up and down but got through into 3rd place. It was all Raptors in the opening exchanges as they dominated posession, territory and chances on goal. Unfortunately for them they could not convert. Then totally against the run of play Damian Colyer broke and scored for Druids B. A few minutes later it was Saxon Hooper's turn to break and score. Raptors still dominating the play, but incredibly 2-0 down on the score board. In the 2nd half Raptors continuted to dominate but couldnt put the ball in the back of the net. As time ran out another break lead to Dominc Colyer scoring and securing the 3-0 win for DruidsB.

Qualifying Final Huskies vs. The Penguins
The Penguins had won the B division title for the last 3 seasons and again had finished in the top 2. Huskies have been dominating all season and deserved their minor premiership. However both teams have been struggling for a bit of form of late. The game got off to a flying start Kerryn Lawler scoring in the 2nd minute. With 7 minutes on the clock Conan Moonan tied it up for Huskies. Just 2 minutes later Helen Smith put Penguins back in the lead with an amazing volley. 2-1 half time. Just after the break Tim Harvey tied it up again. 4 minutes later Huskies took the lead for the 1st time in the game with a goal to Josh Smith. 3-2 Huskies. Then with 3 minutes on the clock Tim Harvey finished off The Penguins with his 2nd goal. 4-2 Huskies into the B division final. The Penguins to face Druids B in the preliminary final.

Preliminary Final The Penguins vs. DruidsB
The Penguins under strength again with guns Roffoffs, Kristys ? Kristofs, Roffeys, away on a UK trip. DruidsB still not sure how they got past Raptors with so little posession on Monday. A rather slow B grade game with so many players out. Just 4 minutes in, saxon Hooper opened the scoring for DruidsB, 1-0 after 4 minutes. With just 3 minutes to go in the 1st half, Ryan Priestly scored his 1st ever broomball goal doubling the DruidsB lead 2-0 half time. The 2nd half was more of the same. Damian Colyer putting the final nail in The Penguins season, putting DruidsB up 3-0 with only 7 to go. Druids B into the grand final vs Huskies.
