AFTER an extra four games in 2018 compared to last year, for 10 of the 12 TAC Cup Girls sides, their season comes to an end on Saturday. All 12 sides want to go out with a bang and each and every one of the six matches are being played at RAMS Arena for a ‘Super Saturday’ of football. For Geelong Falcons, they know they have a week remaining in their season, with their likely opponents the Northern Knights – unless the Sandringham Dragons pull off more than a miracle to overtake the Knights on percentage. For many, it is one last chance to watch the most talented junior footballers in action in what is expected to be a huge day for players, clubs, staff, families and friends.

WESTERN JETS v. GEELONG FALCONS

Saturday, May 12, 1pm
RAMS Arena (Oval 2), Craigieburn

By the time the Geelong Falcons take the field they should have a confirmed grand final opponent – if the Knights do indeed get the four points – however a loss and the Falcons might cast their eyes over to the other ground where the Dragons are playing. Western Jets will look to finish their season on a high, bringing in four players including Hannah Bult and Kaitlyn O’Keefe who should both add some firepower to the Jets’ forward line. For the Falcons, Mia Sheppard in the one confirmed out from the side, with defender Sarah Hungerford taking her place in the 22 for the match.

GIPPSLAND POWER v. SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS

Saturday, May 12, 1pm
RAMS Arena, Craigieburn

Sandringham fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the Knights’ match prior to the Dragons’ own match despite the most unlikely of miracles needing to happen. For those who like mathematical probabilities, there needs to be about an 80-point or more differential between a Sandringham win and a Northern loss for the Dragons to catch the Knights’ percentage. Julia Redmond returns for the final clash and has been named up forward, while defender Ella Cornish, and Charlize Bird are the other inclusions, while overager Jennifer Ross is an omission. For the Dragons, they have brought back some serious X-factor with the likes of Molly Denahy Maloney, Laura Amelung and Winnie Laing all back in to a side that is in red-hot form.
