This week in Adelaide, the six sides: (ACT/NSW combined side), QLD, SA (+3 NT Girls), Victoria, WA and Vic Development (+ some Tassie girls) will play to determine who will be this year's champion.
No doubt Victoria will be undefeated but the challenge of knocking them off is always enjoyable.

From the first centre ruck tap it was obvious that the Vics wanted to leave no doubt in everyone's mind that they were focused on winning three in a row. The SA team were rattled from the first and did not get into their usual attacking style of play. The more experienced Vics were very disciplined in their approach sticking to game tactics, running hard and supporting each other.
First quarter Vics had 4 goals on the board before SA had penetrated their forward 50. Midfielders Karyk and Blackburn were dominating, pushing Vics forward. During the second quarter the Vics piled on another three goals despite more pressure being applied by the SA defence. Shannon Ponter (SA) tried hard to get her team moving but they would be repelled once they made it to the centre. Victoria continued their dominance allowing SA one scoring shot for the game which resulted in a goal.
Final scores: VIC 12.10 (82) def SA 1.0 (6)
Quarter-by-quarter
VIC: 4.1 (25) 7.2 (44) 9.5 (59) 12.10 (82)
SA: 0.0 (0) 0.0 (0) 0.0 (0) 1.0 (6)

Queensland Sunfire burst out of the centre and quickly put a score on the board. For the next half, the contest was fierce and an arm wrestle between the midfields with neither team able to get flow into their forward 50. Half time scores were Qld 2.2 (14) to Team WA 1.1 (7).
Team WA must have received a rev up from coach Michelle Harris during half time because they scored two quick goals in the first minutes of the third quarter. The Black Ducks racked up three times more inside 50s than the Sunfires but could not take advantage due to the resolute defence from the Queensland backline. The final quarter was played mainly in Queensland's forward line. WA could not get the ball past their half back line and when they finally did Sabrina Traub gained front position to bullock the ball in for a goal. Qld could not get ahead but can be buoyed by their crisp ball handling and running in numbers.
Final scores: Team WA: 5.5 (35) def QLD: 3.4 (22)

Team WA: Emma Swanson, Caitlyn Edwards, Jessie McDonald, Chloe Taylor, Katrina Tinson, Kellie Gibson
QLD: Emily Bates, Hannah Sexton, Jordan Zanchetta, Tayla Harris, Isabelle Baldock, Marnie McGorm, Alexandra Anderson
Goal Scorers
Team WA: Kristen Jayasuria, Kira Phillips, McDonald, Sabrina Traub (1)

The last quarter was the difference between the two teams. AFL Vic Dev kicked two quick goals in the dying minutes of the quarter to snatch a hard-won victory. NSWACT have finished 6th at the previous two U18 Youth Girls National Championships but today's game showed they have improved markedly. In what was a very entertaining game to finish the first day’s play of the U18 Yough Girls National Championships, non-traditional football state NSWACT played a free flowing, vigorous game against AFL Victoria Development.
In past Champs these two teams have played off for 5th and 6th but their calibre of play was so high that if the other teams take either team for granted they will do so at their peril. Tasmanian Maddison Smith is able to play for AFL Vic Dev until such time as Tasmania can field their own U18s team. She was dominant in the midfield in particular continually driving her team forward. Second timer Gabbie Pound was a hard worker for NSWACT going in hard in packs to serve the ball out to her onballers.
