The Hawks raced to a nine-goal lead at half-time before holding firm in a tense second-half.

Coach Kathy Evans said it was a strong team performance with Kiewa-Sandy Creek now looking forward to taking on Tallangatta.
“It’s an exciting opportunity for our girls to play in a grand final against the defending premier,” Evans said.
“It’s not every day you get to play in a grand final.
“It will be good to match ourselves against the favourites for the flag.”

The match starts at 2.35pm.
