South Fremantle Bulldogs, coached by former AFL player Scott Chisholm, claimed their first premiership title in Division 2 following a replay of the 2007 grand final.
Eftel Oval was awash with red and white as the Bulldogs overcame the Joondalup Falcons in a closely contested game with the lead changing hands several times.
South Fremantle pulled away in the final quarter with Chae-Lee Salbie and Jess Aspinall (three goals) proving too agile in front of goals, to claim the win.
Joondalup received great service from Laura Schelfhout in the ruck but when she was rested, South Fremantle gained the ascendency in the midfield and at stoppages.
Despite the best efforts of Tammy Mort and Sabrina Moro to give Joondalup the advantage, they could not overcome the relentless chasing and tackling of the South Fremantle girls.
Emilee Chamberlain topped a memorable day for the Bulldogs, claiming the medal for Fairest and Best on the ground.
Scoreboard
South Fremantle 7.9 (51)
Joondalup Falcons 6.4 (40)
