Snakes Open Women Grand Final
The Caboolture Snakes Open Women put in a huge team effort in the grand final on August 4, but lost to the Kawana Dolphins 30-4.
It was an epic rematch of last year’s Open Women grand final, where the Dolphins won last year as well, 14-4.
Caboolture Snakes president, Natasha Field, said the women played a hard game and was proud of the team for finishing runners up.
“They played their hearts out, it was a mental and physical battle out on the field and the score didn’t reflect the effort or determination they had,” she said.
“The women played the grand final last year against Kawana. It was a rematch and a lot of mental battle was to come out as winners this year.”
Natasha added that the women are glad to be done for the season, to allow themselves a well deserved break.
“I think they might just be happy to be resting their bodies. It’s been a physical season and some of our players haven’t really had a break from last year playing QPIC or QMC straight after the season and then coming straight into preseason,” she said.
“I know they will enjoy their break without the commitment three times a week and will be ready to start pre season at the end of the year.”
The Snakes had a good season overall, finishing third on the ladder in the regular season, sitting behind the Maroochydore Swans and the Kawana Dolphins.
“The season went well, we had a great mix of returning players and new players within the team which always creates a different playing dynamic, but the ladies gelled together well,” Natasha said.
Now the Open Women grand final has concluded, the A Grade and Reserve Grade Men’s regular seasons will conclude this weekend.
The Snakes A Grade and Reserve teams are sitting in 6th and 8th place.
