It was a rapid start with Rachel Grocott and Mekensie Perkins trading tries to level the scores 6-all after five minutes.

The match continued that way right through to mid-way through the second half as either side gave their all with Gungahlin holding a 16-14 lead with ten to go.

In their inaugural season in the KFS, try-doubles to Grace Tai, Crystal Papalii and Lola Fletcher helped them to their Grand Final birth at Seiffert Oval this Sunday.
