It was an incredible performance for the Rams to have all five teams competing in the BLK Sydney AFL finals series.
Unfortunately, the third grade side went down to a very experienced Pennant Hills outfit on Sunday at BISP by seventeen points to end their season. It was a fantastic year for the 2014 grand finalists who found self-belief in the last two years under the guidance of player/coach Kevin Kirk.
Goal Kickers: K. Kirk 2, D. Hartney, D. Nelson, R. Ooms, M. Wass
Best Players: R. Ooms, A. Boelhouwer, S. Ward, M. Wass, D. Hartney
Reserve Grade were no real match for Sydney University on Saturday at Blacktown but have a second crack against Western Suburbs this weekend for a chance to play the preliminary final.
Goal Kickers: J. Shelley 6, J. Green, B. Robinson
Best Players: J. Rix, J. Stevens, J. Shelley, M. Pope, B. Wilson, J. Anasis
A late change in venue on Sunday saw the Ramettes have to head a couple of kilometres south to Mahoney Park where they were to face UTS Shamrocks incredibly for the third consecutive year in an elimination final. The Shamrocks held the biggest lead of the game at the end of the first term with a 13 point buffer but the girls hit the front by four at the long break. UTS again forged to the front at the end of the third to lead by five and in a dour struggle till the end, the Ramettes prevailed by just a single point to keep the season alive and make it 3-0 in finals against the valiant Shamrocks.
Goal Kickers: N. Camilleri 2, J. Burnham, K. Easthope, I. Olchowik
Best Players: J. Vella, K. Butler, N. Camilleri, I. Olchowik, R. Tomkins, N. Perrett
An hour later, first grade took the field at BISP in their elimination final against Moorebank magpies. The Rams got off to a great start with two early majors, but the Pies fought back to be just a point behind at half time, and seven down at three quarter time. It may have seemed gloom and doom for the rams, with the final 22 minutes seeing the wind at Moorebank’s back, but a sensational five goal to nil final term ended the Pies season with the Rams prevailing by forty points, after being tipped by the AFL media machine to taste a 35 point drubbing.
Another big weekend at Henson Park for the club. On Saturday, the Ramettes face up to Auburn in the right to play Gosford in the grand final in the 3:30 match. The girls posted a tough seven point win on August 1 at Greygums and will be out to prove who the Giants of Western Sydney ladies football are.
On Sunday it’s also sudden death at Henson Park with Reserves playing Western Suburbs at 1:20 PM followed by Firsts who are looking to post their first win of the year against fellow GWS outfit, Manly Giants.
The Under 19’s start their finals campaign at BISP at 9 AM Sunday when they take on Moorebank.
Let’s get a great support crowd on both days to cheer the mighty Penrith on.
