The 2023/24 TIO NTFL Men’s and Women’s Premier League Grand Finals have been scheduled.
In the Women’s Premier League, a convincing St Mary’s 47-point victory has secured their spot in the Grand Final.
In what will be a battle between first and second place on the ladder, St Mary’s will clash with PINT at 4:15pm at TIO Stadium. After the round 15 draw, it was all set up for the Finals week 2 clash, where a Jo Miller-less Saints couldn’t defeat a Dominant PINT side that had Women’s Leading Goal Kicker Steph Lawrence leading with three goals on the day.
In the Preliminary Final against Nightcliff, it was Billie Byers and Danielle Ponter who both had strong days with two goals each, the defence of the Saints holding down the talented Nightcliff side to just one goal for the match.
Meanwhile, PINT, with the week off, watched on eagerly awaiting to see who their grand final opponent would be.
In their first Grand Final appearance in 11 years, and inclusions of Jo Miller and Jemma Iacono, will they end PINT’s undefeated streak, or will PINT crush the hopes of the Saints with a near-perfect season?
In the Men’s Premier League, St Mary’s bounced back with a 26-point win over the Crocs in the Preliminary final.
In a TIO NTFL 2020/21 Grand Final replay, St Mary’s will take on the Nightcliff Tigers at 6:45pm at TIO Stadium. In their finals week 2 battle, a stunned TIO Stadium crowd witnessed a five goal to nil first term in favour of the tigers before a quick six goal second term brought Nightcliff back in the game. However, the first quarter seemingly had set up the rest of the game with Tigers recording a 11-point win.
St Mary’s against Southern Districts in the preliminary was neck and neck until before a 48-point to 23 second half showed the league that the Saints mean business.
With the last time they met in a Grand Final going to extra time, are we instore for an exciting sequel?
All divisions remaining in finals will have their fixtures uploaded to the PlayHQWebsite after the completion of Week 3 of the Finals.
