Here's what the team had to say:
With a winning streak our Ladies took out the trophy this year at grand final!
Thank you to all our supporters for showing up to encourage our ladies to keep fighting. First half of the game ending with a 1-0 score for Oberon from a beautiful corner kick right to the middle of the box where Ebony Howard had kicked it in the back of the net. Second half Macquarie black scoring an equaliser where the ladies went into extra time leaving the score 1-1. The first 10 minutes of extra time Paige Corby scored from a rebound off the keeper and went in the back of the net putting them in the lead with a score of 2-1. Fighting to the last minute Macquarie black scored their equaliser, putting the game to a penalty shootout. Tiarna Boundy and Jorja Taylor scoring their penalties. Our amazing goalkeeper Cass Ramires saving three goals securing our trophy, she truly is our woman, our myth and our legend! Congratulations ladies, amazing work to the whole team.

Things didn't go quite as well for the Under 15s hockey players, who went down 2-1 to St Pat's. The game was decided in the last seven minutes, which is an indication of how well matched the teams were.
