Women’s 35+ grand final: a hard-earned path
The Women’s 35+ side had to go all the way to a shootout. The pressure finish showed the resilience and composure needed in finals hockey.
Their qualifying-final win earned them a grand final against Hawthorn on Wednesday 9 September.
Strong midweek representation
The result added to a successful run for Greensborough’s midweek teams during the 2026 finals series. These competitions helped players stay involved in hockey, compete with teammates and represent the club during the week.
