Strikers boys into grand final

One West Gippsland Strikers team has successfully made it through to the grand final while another fell at the semi final hurdle.
Under 16 boys
Strikers 4 def Casey 2
Goals: Strikers: Seth Christy, Flynn Furphy, Otto Humphris, Jayden Ronalds. Casey: Zach Coster, Will Justice.
The Strikers are through to the under 16 boys grand final following a sold win against their arch nemesis Casey on Friday night.
Despite going down a goal early in the game the Strikers held their nerve to lead 3-1 at half time.
Going off previous history the Strikers knew that Casey would come out strong scoring again before receiving a penalty stroke.
The stroke was sensationally saved by goal keeper Joshua Cooling and the momentum swung back to the Strikers, who ran out 4-2 winners.
The Strikers will face the undefeated Camberwell in the grand final.
Under 18 mixed
Strikers 2 def by Frankston 4
Goals: Strikers: William Callanan 2. Frankston: Anthony Park 3, Archie Frew.
Unfortunately for the under 18s team their season came to an end at Frankston.
The Strikers had a wobbly start to the game and Frankston capitalised scoring the first two goals, but the Strikers settled and scored a hard fought goal by Will Callanan, which sent them into half time down 2-1.
Tenacious was the Strikers' attitude in the second half, with Will Callanan levelling the game with a stroke.
With some controversial calls by the umpires and some strange tagging techniques by Frankston they took the game 4-2.
