Cannons girls ready for finals

The Calder Cannons girls team will enter the finals on the back of a win, while the boys was knocked out in the wild card round.

The girls were the first to play on Saturday, coming up against Western Jets at Skinner Reserve.

The game was tight early with the Cannons leading by just four points at quarter time. The lead grew to 19 points at the main break.

The Jets showed they weren’t going to just roll over and began to mount a comeback in the third term, cutting the Cannons lead to eight with a quarter to play.

However, the Cannons jumped out of the gates adding on three goals in the final quarter to give them the 7.13 (55)-4.2 (26) win.

Young gun Chloe Baker-West was once again dominant for the Cannons, being the leading disposal getter on the ground with 33 touches, to go with a major, seven inside 50s and four tackles.

Kayley Kavanagh continued her good form from the national championships and was named her side’s best, while Amy Gaylor was another standout.

Shauna McElligott also slotted two in the win.

The Cannons finished the regular season in sixth with eight wins and five losses.

The boys season is over following a wild card round loss to the Eastern Ranges.

The Ranges were dominant from early, being up by 41 points at the main break.

The Cannons failed to register another goal for the game while the Ranges piled them on in the 19.6 (120)-5.11 (41) win.

Patrick Said kicked two of their five goals with the others coming to Kayne Rutley, Nash King and Hugo Garcia.

Jayden Nguyen was the Cannons leading ball winner with 17 touches.

After finishing in fifth with a win loss record of 8-5 the Cannons will be disappointed to be knocked out by the sixth placed Ranges.
