Hockey and netball finals under way as Coorow find success while Jurien suffer double defeat

As football got under way, so did the finals for other sports as hockey minor premiers Coorow Latham booked their place in the decider.

The game out at Three Springs saw Coorow squeak home against Bombers and move into the final.

It was a tight fast-paced game as the two teams went scoreless in the first quarter before Coorow’s Daniell Broun opened the scoring in the second quarter, followed by Ayleesha McDonald.

A scoreless third quarter followed and it looked looked as if the minor premiers would coast to victory until for Heidi Taylor converted a penalty stroke for Three Springs.

It made for a nervy finish but they could not find another way through as Coorow Latham took the game 2-1

In the other semi-final Mingenew disposed of Morawa 2-0 as Lucy Forward and Georgia Broad scored in the first and second quarter respectively to seal their team’s win.
