LEXTON (36) def by NATTE BEALIBA (53)
The grand final replay was almost an exact replica of Lexton and Natte Bealiba’s meeting in September, with the Swans again victorious.
While the corresponding game last season saw the Swans zoom away right from the outset, Saturday was a bit of a slower burn this time around, with Lexton keeping pace during the first quarter and a bit.
The Swans were able to take a five-goal lead into the first change, having scored 15 goals to 10.
But they were able to start putting the foot down in the second quarter as they built their lead, scoring 14 goals in the second quarter, while holding the Tigers to eight.
A further 13 goals to 10 in the third quarter solidified their cushion as they turned for home, where the Swans were able to score 11 goals to eight in the last to win by 17 goals.
Emma Ryan scored 39 goals in the Swans’ win, with Shannae Mills adding 14.
For Lexton, Rachel Phelan led the way with 27 goals, while Leesa Donhardt scored eight.
