The 2021 TRL season draws to a close this weekend with all grand finals to be played at Clive Berghofer Stadium on Sunday.
The Warwick ladies team will be flying the flag for the Warwick Cowboys on grand final day when they line up against the Gatton Hawks.
The Hawks booked their place in the grand final after scoring a 30-10 win over Newtown at weekend.
Warwick had the wood on Gatton who finished at the top of the ladies table when the teams met in the Major Qualifying Semi Final.
Warwick scored a 16-12 win to move straight through to the Grand Final.
There was little between the sides on that occasion.
Each scored three tries, but the difference was the goal kicking of Carly Cooper.
The Warwick ladies have had an excellent season and despite upsetting the minor premiers two weeks ago they will need to bring their ‘A’ game this weekend.
Fullback Amanda Hinch is sure to play a big part in the result.
She has been one of the lynch pins of the Warwick side since the first ball was kicked in the competition back in April and is capable of inflicting punishment on any side on any day.
Molly O’Connell is another who has been a great contributor to the success of the side either coming off the bench in games or playing in the second row.
The goal kicking of Carly Cooper and Lisa Croft has been a real asset to the team throughout the season.
The introduction of the Women’s competition this season has been a winner for the TRL.
It has proved a popular addition to the competition, and many have been pleasantly surprised by the level of skill and commitment shown by the girls.
The Warwick team has played well as a team over the course of the season and thoroughly deserve their spot in the Grand Final.
There is sure to be plenty of support from the Cowboys players and club supporters on Sunday.
It will be an early start for everyone with the game kicking off at 11.45am.
Good luck girls.
