2011 Premier League & 20’s State Cup
Semi Final Report via NSWTA
Canterbury Bulldogs 6 defeated Manly Sea Eagles 4
Touchdowns: Georgia Wallace, Justine Johnston, Danni Davis, Laura Peattie
Going straight through to the Semi Final, Canterbury were fresh and got the ball rolling by none other than their Top Dog – Louise Winchester who took off from half and found an open player player to score. Manly were sick of this sight early on in the game with Squeeze repeating this another two times in the first seven minutes of the game. Touch Football fans will not get sick of the sight of Danni Davis from Manly who is a star of the future. A massive long ball to open Manly’s account and wonderful individual effort to score herself two highlights. Manly cared little for the five titles Canterbury have already won with their young line-up showing youthful exuberance which is refreshing to watch. Manly levelled up the scores four a piece with nine minutes to go but it was none other than Louise Winchester to break through from half and find an open player to score and break the deadlock. Kelly Woods broke the Manly hearts with four minutes to play by setting up again from half and give Canterbury the game six touchdowns to four. Full credit to the Manly girls and their coaches Barry Gibson and Anthony Dudeck, Semi Finalists two years in a row at State Cup and they have the talent to go further in the future.
