Jacana has defeated Lalor Stars by 13 points in the 2008 Northern Youth Girls Grand Final last Saturday.
It is the first time the Northern Youth Girls grand final has been staged and it lived up to the expected tight tussle.
Played at AH Capp Reserve, West Preston, the ball movement was quick, the skills were sharp, and the contest hot and played in a great spirit.
In front of a loud and enthusiatic crowd, Jacana had more numbers at the ball and won more clearances to give it the vital edge.
Best on Ground Awards: Jacana - Yasmin Speekman; Lalor Stars - Sharnni Di Mauro
Yasmin is an AFL Victoria Youth Girls Academy member and both girls, alongside a few other team mates, are now in contention for Victorian selection.
