After a season of so much joy, Williamstown CYMS’ finals campaign in the Victorian Amateur Football Association premier B women’s competition has ended in straight sets.
The CYs entered the finals undefeated and favourites but suffered back-to-back losses to end hopes of a second straight premiership.
The second of those losses came in the preliminary final on Sunday against Fitzroy.
It was the CYs who started the better of the teams, leading three goals to nothing at quarter time.
The Lions kicked the four goals of the second quarter to take the lead at half time.
The CYs had the wind in the third quarter and kicked the only two goals to take a six point lead into the final quarter.
All the scoring came from Fitzroy in the final quarter as they were able to do enough to win, 5.3 (33)-5.1 (31).
Alessia Acquaro and Loren Mills kicked two goals each for the CYs.
Kiara Palmar, Acquaro and Lauren Winter were named their best.
In the premier B men’s competition, the CYs momentum was halted by Old Trinity.
Having moved out of the relegation zone in recent weeks, the CYs were hoping to continue the winning momentum.
Old Trinity led all day, but the match was still for the taking in the third quarter.
Old Trinity was able to do enough to hold off the CYs, winning 18.12 (120)-15.7 (97).
Harrison Miller kicked four goals for the CYs.
Brad Tucker, Jordan Busuttil and William Bokma were named their best.
The CYs finish their season on Saturday against bottom side St Bedes-Mentone Tigers.
