Williamstown is into its second Foxtel Cup Grand Final after defeating East Perth last night at Patersons Stadium.
The Seagulls overcame ‘jetlag’ early in the game to kick six goals to three in the second half to run out winners 10.11 71 to 7.5 47.
The Semi Final win helped Williamstown book a Grand Final meeting with West Perth at Simonds Stadium on July 22, the clubs first Foxtel Cup Grand Final appearance since it won the inaugural title back in 2011.
Williamstown had less than ideal preparation for its match, suffering flight delays of over 20 hours before arriving in Perth under four hours prior to the game.

While the limited warm-up and time to settle in seemed to effect the Seagulls early in the game, a three goal second term brushed off their pregame issues as they took control of the match.
Resting the likes of captain Ben Jolley and equal leading goal kicker Scott Clouston, the younger players in the side stood up, with Kane Lambert dominating in the middle with 26 disposals, and Jake Owen continuing his good season with two goals.
Jack Dorgan provided the highlight of the match with his third term run down the ground, kicking a goal after bouncing the ball four times to help the Seagulls into the lead at three quarter time.
Williamstown finished the game strong with three goals to one, with only inaccuracy costing them a bigger winning margin.
