The Narooma girls began well and in the first five minutes Jamie-Anne Wright scored but failed to convert. Soon after Keira went over the line to score again for Narooma with Jamie-Anne Wright kicking the goal, putting Narooma in the lead 10-nil.
The girls were looking great and 20 minutes in, Jamie-Anne scored again, converting and the score was Narooma 16, Cooma nil.
Lily Bennett was saving tries with her brilliant speed, tagging Cooma runaways. There were also good runs by Kayla Tyrell and Tegan Mundy who were tagging everything that moved.
Just before half time Cooma scored their first try and goal making the half time score Narooma 16, Cooma 6.
“This was the turning of the tide for the Cooma girls,” a spectator said.
The Cooma girls came out after half time, hot and strong with Narooma unable to stop them. Cooma scored another two tries and the score was drawn at 16 all when the hooter sounded.
The Cooma and Narooma girls were into extra time and there were some tense moments.
As luck would have it Narooma were awarded a penalty and Jamie-Anne kicked the ball through the posts and Narooma won the semi-final 18-16.
Narooma now head to the grand final against the Bega Chicks in Bega on Sunday for the game that starts at 11.45am.
