THE Woolgoolga Wildcats have capped off a brilliant season by winning the Women’s 2nd division South grand final of their North Coast Football community competition.

The Wildcats won their eighteenth game from as many matches with a 4-0 win against the Boambee Eagles in their grand final at the Coffs Football Centre Synthetics.

The Wildcats won the premiership and grand final double of the Women’s 2nd division South, which is the featured women’s competition in North Coast Football’s Coffs Coast community competitions.

Emily Knott had a grand final for the ages scoring all four of her side’s goals in the victory.

The Wildcats got out to an early 1-0 lead, with shots on goal a premium in a defensive grind throughout much of the match.

The Wildcats continued to push for a second goal, and it finally came in the 75th minute courtesy of a strike in the goal square.

A dominant 20-minute period proved to be the difference as the Wildcats poured on three late goals to seal the match.

Wildcats coach Peter Knott said they were challenged by the Eagles.

“We always have tough games with Boambee, and I like playing Boambee as you are always going to get a good, hard fair game.

“The Boambee girls stood up and weathered the storm, and the result did not reflect how tight it was.

“Our fitness and ball skills outweighed them in the last 20 minutes, and it was that dominant 20 minutes that was the difference.”

The Wildcats coach shared why his side had remained undefeated this season.

“The girl’s enthusiasm from the start of the season, they wanted to play football week in and week out and we didn’t have any trouble filling a team.

“Just their character and enthusiasm for football.”
