It was a tough match that was played right down to the wire, with the first goal (Wauchope) being scored with only 10 minutes to go.

This made Thunder mad and they pushed very hard until with a minute twenty to go their adrenalin flagged and Wauchope got in again, finishing the game 2-0.

Great defence from Kelsey Ramsey, Jess Hollis, Wendy Jonas and stand in goalie Jodie Adams held thunder out while goals were scored by Emily Davidson and Karen Gill.

Friday night saw Wauchope take on rivals Camden Haven in their bid for a position in the grand final in the C grade men.

Strong off the block, both teams played "one of the best games this season" and fought tooth and nail to try and score a goal. Wauchope got in first, about 15 minutes into the game, on incredible stick work of hockey first timer Adrian Osborne.

Wauchope then scrambled in defence to hold out Camden Haven's hard push for the rest of the game, unfortunately with 15 min to Haven scored tying the game 1-1 where it remained to full time.

Extra time golden goal then started a hair- raising experience for those both on and off the field.

Relentless in attack and defence, Wauchope tried everything they could to score while keeping Haven out, ultimately ending in a 1 on 1 with Wauchope Goalie Glen Pursehouse sliding out to safely handle the situation.

Extra time finished, with the score still levelled at 1-1. With Wauchope still ranked higher from season round games they progress to the Grand Finals.

Our 2 C grade teams now join our 2 B grade teams who made it through in the first round, completing the set and getting 4 from 4 into the grand final matches.

All four teams will be on show from 1pm on Saturday September 13 as they make their plays for Grand Final Glory.
