Dragons narrowly miss upsetting favourites by 3 points in epic
Nothing was left out on the field by the girls on Sunday afternoon, despite coming up short by a mere 3 points.  Surprisingly composed in their first ever grand final appearance, the Dragons came out strongly scoring the first goal of the game in seconds, leaving the Eagles on the back foot for much of the day.  From that point onwards, every mark, kick and run by the Eagles was earned, and every contest met by a determined Dragons guernsey.  However, true to form, a last quarter goal proved why the Eagles are the champion team they are, as they jumped to the lead.  Never giving up all day, the Dragons fought to the very end, even at times being provided with an opportunity  or two to stage an upset, but it was not to be.  Though a loss on paper, not a head was dropped afterwards - it was only a stepping stone to something greater.
