Sharks Seek Premiership Glory

Friday, August 24, 2018 - 4:10 PM

The East Fremantle Women’s League team take on Subiaco this Sunday at Claremont Oval for the biggest day on the football calendar. 

The Sharks have dominated in season 2018, dropping only one game before finishing with the minor premiership. Earning themselves a home semi-final, the girls convincingly beat second placed Peel to progress to the grand final. There is a mixture of excitement and nerves amongst the playing group according to East Fremantle’s Head Coach Nikki Harwood.

“We’re all really looking forward to the game! I’m sure there are plenty of nerves around, especially those who haven’t played in a Grand Final before,” Harwood said.

When it comes to preparation, Harwood has tried to keep their on-field training the same as usual and treat it like any other game.

League Squad

“The only thing we’ve done differently is we invited Sam Mitchell to come down on Wednesday night and speak to the Youth Girls and League players who are playing this weekend.”

“He shared his experiences and answered any questions the girls had. It was a fantastic session and I’m sure they will all take away something of value and apply it to their game on Sunday but also their football careers going further.”

The Sharks go into Sunday with the upper hand, having beaten Subiaco in all three encounters this season but Harwood isn’t expecting an easy game.

“Despite winning all 3 games this season, 2 of those games came down to the wire and could’ve gone either way,” Harwood said.

“Their talls are very good overhead and they have some great midfielders, so the good thing is, that having played them 3 times, we know what to expect and know we can match it with them.”

“Half way through the season I was confident that if Subiaco were to qualify for finals that they’d make it through to the GF. They are a quality team and it’ll take our best effort to beat them.”

After a thrilling semi-final that went into overtime, the East Fremantle Youth Girls prevailed by seven points to secure a spot in the grand final.

The Sharks have a big challenge taking on the undefeated Peel Thunderbirds but have continually impressed especially in the final series.
