as uh both Keepers uh for uh for wa have been fantastic in Rett Johnson and Bidwell Barton and for South Australia Cody Watson has been huge in the cage for the uh for the Reds but key matchup today on uh the uh offensive side here for um wa I’ll tell you what mty wood has been shooting lights out and uh has has Jordan Gillespie and the rest of the forwards down there in hockey and kwia as well as U cook was a monster against Victoria Warrior as the defensive end they’re going to have to try and get through the likes of Tom Richards and Co down there and uh for the sa boys well wa have to get on top of number 11 Jackson stock in the center as Jackson stock just uh absolutely dominated the game yesterday Key matchup just finding out the wing here Richards up against Waller that’s going to be a match up to feast on and down the offensive end KY Williams has been in fantastic form putting multiple goals on as has Young Noah hasket and the face off will start here shandel and I can’t wait for it as Shane Abbott sets the face off and we have whistle Jackson stock huge match up stock he’s been great and there he is coming up with that opening possession it’s fallen over a little bit B to be one and there we go Waller picks the ball up and brings it into offense he’s picked up by Bo water and Bo boo doesn’t give an inch down there in defense great short stick Defender if you are joining us live and free on the Australian Lacrosse Network welcome to from wherever you are here in Australia or around the world we hope you enjoy this live coverage of this Australian National Championship final for the men KY Williams got six yesterday against Victoria looking to go about the work early great work there though by Ashby Dennis he’s a big man to get past his Ashby yeah you don’t want him charging at you as sa are looking to to drive little Step Inside by Waller I keep I keep waiting to uh get that uh uh free space call but it’s not going to happen in the men’s game no it’s really not and uh there’s a drive good defense by boow water looks like the the tur’s getting a bit slippery now so hasket just uh kicks it up to hood up the top Hood goes to drive down the left and fires there you go there’s the first one just to uh give Rett a cider in there Rett starting in the cage for uh W backed up by our very own aln production Scott Gil I mean he’s just come off a production with Sparky here and he’s straight into a championship game as Waller steps down good slide there from Dennis Dennis up to lock at the top lock he’s oh Richard just slips over you can see that just that little under footing at the moment not a day for dodging I don’t think so we’ll see how this goes but KY Williams he he loves to Dodge I tell you what he’s at home on the wave so uh good work there from Richards picked up there by lock and he’s chased down as Loach kicks the ball back down here they’ve got rich they’ve got Williams on a short stick now Defender so he could really capitalize here he’s obviously going to recognize who he’s playing on match up on he’s going a swim move driving the back corner takot Williams gets one early the slide comes not quick enough and sa doing what they did to Victoria yesterday getting on the board early and is there the fairy tale on offer for South Australia replay here you can see Williams taking his short stick defender in Bow water down the back looks to go right swim move left looks up and over the defensive prow West doesn’t quite interrupt that shot pops it over the top of Johnson and South Australia out to a one-nil lead through KY Williams ball back for stocky stocky in the middle good work there ball picked up almost need to ground ball great pick up there from Richards great ball holder is he boow water coming down the other way fast man break for Western Australia just losing the ball but we see Richards Tink Tink tin off the bar yeah first shot for wa and uh Ball kicked down to Gil Gil about to be eaten up gets a push loose ball push let him play they say that’s offside not offside so much noise in this huge crowd good work there from Gil good work from Walton sorry uh shindel yeah sorry Matt Wood taking the ball down gives it to cook cook gives it back to Wood what about the pressure there Kar got that in his stick was about to really fire and uh just no uh no shot on offer as the ball popped out his sck that was a great backup there from Richards I love Richards with a longy shooting as a ball down the back here for wa kesby with the ball over to Walker I expect Walker to be very big today what about these black strips I love these black un forms they’ve got plenty about him as uh ball kick down there although that number nine looks like a from wood looks like are good inside need to be one and the ball is won by Gillespie up the top ball up the top to Wood Wood got four the last time these two teams met he was uh one of the difference makers over to Sako Ryan hocky looking to shoot Lefty oh save from watch save that’s a proud dad moment I tell you what he has been doing that all week here at the woo jindel up Lacrosse Club just getting a leg out to it he might have a bruise on there but it doesn’t hurt as much when you take home a national championship wa looking for a drive shot again backed up by cook for those who didn’t hear earlier in the broadcast this week cook has come out to a play in wa from the University of Syracuse so coached by Gary gate having a huge impact on local competition but also now national competition and picked up there by Pat Palmer they put their best defender on him and why wouldn’t you six and one in that game against Victoria that went to Golden Goal good work there from ole North popping out as uh ball is kicked out here to Wood jeez that looks like a number eight there it does it certainly does 6 eight and nine all look so similar so uh ball up the top with wood as I said looking to Fire gets on the left looks around the bottom corner just dropped the ball ball to be one on the deck as it is one there and Gillespie will win that ball up to Walker Walker kicks the ball down the B over the top stick errors you can’t afford stick errors in a game like this this is too important well that shows you a little bit of what the pressure is out there at the moment just those simple little errors as Cody Watts will uh bring the ball up here for South Australia they look to jump him against Victoria and wa aren’t going to let him clear absolutely not as Ball kicked up the top here to hisy hisy brings the ball over looks up Kicks the ball down there to hood and Hood as we see young mcer come on the left hand side here so using all their bench here south Australia so 10 minutes to go we’re hearing there thank you to Luke keing he is Mike D in our ear is Luke keing and ball up here with Sam Hy Hy he’s taking on leam Bryant hisy looks to go down the left just rolls back kicks it back up here to Williams Williams picked up by by Tom Moyer Williams looking to get inside looks to roll back on his right doesn’t good work there from Moyer to keep him down the left hand side and ball down the back here with hood and hasket pops up the top hasket with the gamewinner yesterday yeah he was good he saw that back drive and took a dive shot to finish off that game and win we’ve got two gold and goal game players in this game that have scored the winning goal with h get Downs popped another one over the right hip doesn’t he enjoy that Noah haset gets a game with to get him into the into this final and uh and uh what we have there is one on the right hip just watch his shot from hasket he comes from uh top Center picks up his defender on the left and just watch him pop it right stick side here and not much space there and South Australia out to a two lead and that’s the way sa started yesterday against Victoria and ball will go in the back of the uh to Jackson stock Jackson stock great work there though as uh ball is picked up and will be flicked out there yep just getting a championship management update there’s a Toyota vehicle parked in the in the way of the driveway it needs to be moved immediately the the number plate is 1 ey y z 313 if you know whose car that is please can you get it moved out of the car parkway it’s it’s right in the way of the championship coordinators as B B is in West and arr’s offense boat with the ball moves it across to moer and Rodriguez out there won that face off did a great job there yeah that’s where um wa are going to really find a challenge today stock was excellent yesterday I don’t think he lost a face off and I think if he did it was one illegal procedure so they are going to have to work very hard and work out how to play stock in that face as we’ve got a drive here on the the left side moves the ball to Wood Wood across to Walker Walker looking for what again down low another big save for the keeper from South Australia and they’re just going to move it move it across their defensive defensive area ball was knocked down by kwara really tight ride here by wa he’s got help on his left side which is now seen C just fakes looks to go back got Palmer on the out side his teammate at Glenelg and Palmer coming off an alternate position with the Australian sharks in Denver looks back up and over finds it looks to Newman Newman needs to pass the ball up he uh needs to give it up and just put his uh as we get a clear there that was a hard uh ride there from wa but you and lock on the end of it and uh South Australia off to the best start they could possibly ask for absolutely a two nil lead really setting the tone of the game they’ve played a lot of offense as well seven minutes left in this first turn and ball down on the ground people falling on ball picked up coming back the other way through Rodriguez Jaden Rodriguez just down the right hand side looks inside oh good little stick there and Yan lock picks it up and uh a foot RAC is on here as uh the defender comes out tries to overcheck and we got a timeout a well charged timeout there to Australia they will keep possession you and lock doing a great job to get the ball into their offensive end but uh South Australia have drawn First Blood here shandelle and uh two- Z yeah um I feel like that last possession that wa had they pumped the ball into kwar and koswara shot it before he had it we’re going to go through the goal scorers for this first turn so far so this was the first one we saw Williams down the back to taking his shorty down there gets a swim move slide comes but good enough to pop it over the top of Rett there and the second goal here we saw Noah hasket just drag his long stick Defender up the top able to free his hands on this left hand side and that is not much space to aim at on that right hip but pops it away and uh that is 20 to south Australia as the two teams uh just uh finish up their timeouts so KY Williams with one and Noah hasket also with one if you are joining us live and free on the Australian Lacrosse Network uh send us shout outs I know uh there’s plenty of messages coming through there shindel there is there it’s all go Reds let’s Goa all on the the feed so far so Andrew Hansford Rachel Boy woom uh Franchesca his Fran franka hisy hisy Scott Newman we’ve got Nathan Arn Tony wats give me and Hayden Carol a shout out for playing golf and Ben rer tuning in uh West Australian local over in Sydney at the Little League Baseball Nationals go west as uh South Australia working their ball around their offensive zone good work the slide comes there Hood just loses his stick picks it up oh that’s a really good effort there from Hood to collect his stick Gil he’s been a he’s been an assist magnet this week as Scotty Gil absolutely has here he is again oh little uh just uh feet moving quicker than the ground would allow him that you’re really seeing players slide around now so obviously that rain has had some effect on the way lock up against Richards kicks the ball down here to hasket haset takes his long stick opponent just out of the play there I’m just looking at who’s got the shorty match up and it appears that Wall’s got it with boow water so just taking some time out here sa just called a timeout coaches get to have a bit of a say about what’s going on H it down the back south Australia looking for back-to-back victories uh in consecutive years they won it in Adelaide last year throws the ball as ball goes down rep Johnson to clean up and Walton to pick it up Walton about to be under pressure there from Kai Williams ball loose out the back Williams picks the ball up ball to be one ball flicks out here to Walker Walker picks the ball up Williams to chase him down and Williams will find himself playing some defense CO as a cucumber locky Walker doesn’t get rattled by much just grabs that ball going and says I’ll just run it out here settle my team down and we’ll start playing some offense great uh chase down there from uh Rat in the cage I’ve got some Wembley waa team boys sitting next to me Mack arik and Ashby all here so ball up the top with Gillespie kicks it here to Sako Ryan hockey looks to go inside looks inside fires and that one’s gone down the back so unsettled here is the defense coming around the back here a walker just putting it with the backhand left hand flick past the top right hand corner of watts and let’s have a look at the replay here Sako gets through a couple just a picked up down the back here by Walker saw the matchup down there just able to get top side little backhand flick to the top Corner Y and uh 2-1 game here yeah we’ve got people tuning in from all over the world I’ve got Connor Wilson um on the feed he’s in New York City watching um watching the game he came over and played at Wembley 20 years ago still heavily invested in Australia lacrosse so great to see the the global Network tuning in to watch our Championship Sunday game and stock picks the ball up he’s uh bit of machine in the face off this week oh there’s a trip that’ll be an interference call as the flag height there of Shane Abbott and uh we will see an interference call I believe there yep hold so so uh Abbott just goes to pick his flag up always gets good flag height does Shane Abbott and South Australia will find themselves in a power play situation for 30 seconds so stock kicks it up to Waller Waller out the side to hood hood just a little rotation down the back there finds Williams we got Gil sitting in the middle Gil Smart in that cruas position as well looks up fires to uh stock stock back over to hasket hasket looks down one opens up 3 seconds left on the penalty looks to uh release it looks inside just fires it over the head and South Australia will give that up and they’ll have to get back on boow waterer here bowater is going to create some transition if he gets the ball and he looks up now and he’ll receive it South Australia need to be better at that getting back into the offense ball off the Stick of wood still a two-nil ball game in for favor of the visitors South Australia mattwood moves the ball across the top of the fan sorry 21 so isn’t it 2-0 no 21 two1 sorry I’m looking at the scoreboards they they haven’t done it we’re all over it though sh Walker with that walk with that beautiful goal sorry I’ve just so excited about the action that’s happening there’s so much going on around us I’m in uh my eyes are in stimulation overload so ball at the top here with kwara we knew what you meant there anyway shendel and uh the viewers are very happy to have you online even if I don’t know what I’m talking about as a player goes to ground essay to collect the ground ball there from engas engas he’ll look up he looks over and finds uh Palmer down the back Palmer’s got Newman he’s sending it back over that Far Side just to give the sa girls a little bit of action as they you can see them cheering well they’re looking not to give the ball to Watts here they don’t want Watts clearing the ball and watts is working really hard to make that happen so uh and what it’ll do is he will carry the ball over they’ll need a forward to W come to him CU otherwise they’ll start to put some real pressure and that does happen now Liam Hood picks the ball up and kicks it to Waller so Jack Waller just settles it down for a second as we see young Brody Mur coming to offense for South Australia yes they’ had a lot of possession so far they’re really taking control of this game as uh the bench manager there Luke keying just updating the score Gil looks into hket good uh good feed there ball to be one on the deck keeper is good pick up there from uh it’s flicked out of the sticks so we’re going to have an interference here are we legal procal procedure time out red you cannot so okay the illegal procedure on that was cuz the ball was loose and cam called a timeout thought the ball was in the stick turns it over CBO all over it and uh that one’s on the coaches that one cam will be absolutely not happy with that error he’ll put I mean I hope he can just let go get past it oh wa need to get their passes up they do we saw Victoria do this yesterday against South Australia just some of those ones uh one uh just uh down the back yeah South Australia here to take no prisoners looking for a shot oh what oh slow ball not sure whether he got a foot on that let’s have a look at this on the replay that was Kara with the back drive drive from X so we get to see the replay I’m not sure whether Cody actually did get a foot on this and it came off him it slowed up let’s have a look here gets inside hard to tell hard to tell but what it is is a goal it’s a goal and kwara gets his first and we got a two- all game I’ve got a kwar fan club to my right everyone loves the big man Coy here in wa so two is the score here south Australia just threw the ball away stock there to pick up there’ll be a flag here for an interference call uh with possession for Jackson stock and uh will be a hold okay so that’ll go on salty there Aaron Salter 30 seconds for a hold so another opportunity here for South Australia to run a power play they haven’t uh been uh they’re Zero from one at the moment in their power play they threw the last one away they’ve been playing a great job all week and Williams gets up the top good work there from Gil see him out of the gun there to get the First on yep Gil looks up penalties is about to be relased you can hear it’s less than 10 seconds and W you can’t let him shoot from there good save from Rett and that’s a good save there from Johnson as uh Waller is um ball back up to hood hood under pressure from boow waterer ball back up the top to stock stock running this left hand pipe up against Richard Richard puts him on his bum just uh looking for a ward there is the uh limited time on the clocks on the field and a flag down just need to hold the ball it’s going to be a penalty it looks like it’s Ashby Dennis heading so South Australia just need to sorry shandel South Australia just need to hold the ball here there’s about 8 seconds left in this quarter hold the ball take the uh next uh 8 seconds left in the quarter the coaches will be relaying that and just hold the ball down there Dennis taking his seat in the Sin bin there forwa time’s about to go and that is quarter time South Australia with possession at the end of it with wa in the Box South Australia will start the second quarter with the ball in their stick there will be no face off and they’ll have about a 22nd ManUp opportunity and what a first quarter shendel what an absolute first quarter we’re going to look at some replays here of the goals from that quarter so so this is Williams just drew his man down the back here first goal of the game just managed that little swim move gets up rolls over and Pops it to the top shelf yeah nice goal there by Williams and then we had Noah hasket with the second this big drive down this left hand side there was no space whatsoever for that shot yeah and just beat rat right near his knee but not to be outdone coming back the other way this is Walker Walker picks the ball up this is so unpredictable this move by Walker I haven’t seen him do it before and he doesn’t really like to shoot from there so he’s taken some rest and it’s paid off but what he did do was find the shorty there and all of a sudden this is kwara kwara just uh gets messed up is Defender there in englas and uh ball popped over the well left hand right hand foot of Cody wats into the back of the cage we got a two- old game and this is what a championship game should be uh chel yep absolutely got the camera now on the sa women just uh having a bit of chill time supporting their men’s team after their last game against the under 20 women and what I loved at the end of that is you can see just the passion for Australian lacrosse Trish Adams just spoke so well and she is so excited having uh having coached those teams in the past and women’s uh seniors y that she is just in awe of uh where they’ve come from this week and kudos to uh to Trish and what a great week for Trish and Karen and uh in that s team again not to ever been beaten by more than one goal and you miss out on a championship final a flick of a coin could have gone the other way absolutely but we’re on Championship action here for South Australia as they will start man up can they get an early one here in the second ball down the back with Williams playing in a 1 141 here for South Australia look down to hood hood down to Williams lefties on the field Gil just lurking around in the middle hasket there’s no rotation happening at the moment now the little rotation starts hasket this might come back to him here as Williams is sitting on the bottom corner hasket good step down there not to be looks up to stock back to hasket as the penalty can’t be far off being released here 15 seconds we’re hearing Hood fires off Tink Tink Tink there you go there’s one back south Australia B water to clear the ball for West and Australia get a push but just just finding himself in the the crowd there the sa player landing on the pack and boat clears the ball down to cook and transition as South Australia try to get their defense set and uh ball will uh from wood will kick up the top here to Walker good uh stop there from wa yep as the sun’s starting to shine now ton oh I tell you what it should it’s a it’s a day for the sun to shine here at the W Tel up Lacrosse Club and they’ve done a fantastic job this week with all the uh issues that have happened with weather and everything and the field uh field has held up exceptionally well yeah absolutely I thought I was expecting a mud pit but this field has held up so well I need this game and one more to go and trophies will be handed out who’s going to be taking them home so ball back up the top to kwara has one picked up there by uh number 16 englas Higgins up against kesie kesie looking for a big shot he’s got Matt he’s got to get back out on those hands to Wood cuz wood fires and that has gone wide but they’re going to have to talk about that cuz you cannot let that man free his hands from that distance absolutely not as lucky Walkers bringing the ball back into play a picker set sent to the top high Gillespie five Tink of the bar first on to be had here hasket picks the ball up under pressure good hold from hasket good work there and that will be a uh time out charged to south Australia great timeout from cam Adams that one did work and uh he’s right on the spot they will have offense there but you know what they don’t have any more timeouts for this half yeah that’s um so uh there’s a uh POS possession was had there by South Australia Y and uh cam Adams uh learning from the last one y he’s obviously seen something he’s got a a formation ready to go and he wants the boys to execute so you can see he’s gathered his offensive uh Team a pack down on that end of the field the defensive coach has come out for sa and he’s talking to those guys and um wa just meeting as a group on the far side of the field umpire’s also having a bit of a chat obviously talking about what’s been going on in the game so far pretty clean game um they’re letting them play they are letting play and uh can I just go to the uh socials go on Tony uh we’ve got a few online uh Tony Stewart says bring the trophy Home South Australia we’ got Marcus aratus Aron Battis sorry is watching Jacob Dunn Kathy Denny and she’ll be proud of her girl there in Holly with the MVP Nathan Simpson Loy Russell Ashley Clark Paige Curry Malcolm Higgins a Ruben man says upwa Nathan arcot Clint Barker Gareth Allen Lee hasket it’s a plethora of supporters watching and Lee hasket says uh Min chellers from the Riverland say Riverland sa say go Noy and Jake Rosen BR in niol and benc online wow that was a mouthful so many people watching big crowd here for this men’s final as the wind just picked up a little bit here ball up the top with Jack Waller Jack Waller looking to free his hands flip the ball up to hood hood gets inside picked up there by Richards Hood fires down to Scotty Gill Scotty Gill looks to go to work against Luke Walton Luke Walton trying to lead him a merry dance down there as Gilly is Kai Williams with the ball now oh that’s a big uh def defensive stop there and Ash Dennis says you know what mate if you’re going to try and get through here try your hardest I’m not going to let you he is a strong man you lock up the top he will fire left-handed if he’s got the opportunity he looks for a push there but nothing had ball back up the top to Waller against boobo boow waterer good uh shorty pressure there back up to lock lock up against the shorty looks to come down the right looks to fire not there will rotate the ball down to Williams who kicks it down to Gil Gil will be looking for inside feeders does inside feed just found the feet there as R Johnson comes out and flicks it out great work there from Rett Johnson he is the people’s Champion right now as the ball comes down the top here and hits wood wood back to Bobo Bobo looks inside and uh finds Liam Bryant standing by himself I uh the want to look at the replay here on who just left him there you cannot leave a man open in the crease at any stage ball here to Wood Wood comes back to Bobo oh just slid off him the shorty and the second slide in Palmer didn’t back him up Liam Bryant just puts wa up by one yeah interesting locky Walker has been put on the wing here this is not a usual uh position for him but I know he certainly got the fitness and the and the skill to be playing that position as there’s a a rumble for the ball stock again wins the ball to his possession tries to flick it up Walton picks it up Wally on the Move kicks it there and uh he will kick that there to clarky Clark and clarky one of those up and cominging young superstars of wa in the face off yes he’s um product of the Wembley Lacross Club as we see cook just passed the ball up here to Walker I’m going to say if there’s a general in the uh women’s side in uh tatlo Walker is that man here I absolutely agree with that he just calls the shots tells him what to do he’s a true leader a true captain of this team so uh ball down the back looking to come up cookie with the ball up to Walker Walker look at that space Walker’s got he could have just shot through the lane but he chose not two moves it over Rodriguez fires and that one’s well high and over and South Australia nice dive there yeah but two Defenders there diving for the ball but the ball was backed up by cook so uh we see the number one there in kwara try to get down the back nice move oh good save and ball on the deck again holding that pipe perfectly and ball kicked out here to the longy in Palmer Palmer looking uh for Watts Watts looks up finds Hansford Hansford Under Pressure good look oh nailed in the center there and we see Sami hisy get up and he says it might close out of fashion but no damage done and Sam hisy races back into defense wow big hit that was huge and look at Luke Walton just pretending to be the Hulk out there he’s got the man arms out and Wally just says no you don’t in my area and Sam hisy as we see wa very excited for Wally there and that was a massive hit that I hope that winds up on that um that Instagram account no context oos Lacross because that was a beauty and as clean as you’re going to get just uh they pass up to him I thought he was going to absolutely kill him when that ball passed up Paul his is just lying on the ground the woo man get get him up and B I’ll tell you what there was only one woo there that was A Rush of air coming out of his lungs as he got hit there was a woo indeed and it was like well where did he come from absolutely and Wally with a monster hit there but Sammy hisy just bounced straight back up and said is that all you got Wally y so uh we’ll see how that goes for the rest of the day wa got that got a crowd into it too just quietly yeah they loved it they absolutely loved it tell you what who else loved it the commentator yeah he’s all over that stuff nothing better than a good clean hit and uh I’ll tell you what unless uh unless someone’s done Samy’s done some at at home and just set him up but ball down the back here back to action Lucas kazara time out had here for wa looks to Wood Wood comes down the side just goes to free the arms oh that one’s just bounced and skined through the legs I believe we’ll have a look at that on the replay yeah you can see mdy looking for that lane on this side of the field so gets the ball comes up looks uh kicks the ball up comes down here and it looks like it just skids off the deck in through the hole tried to get the knees to it but didn’t work pretty minimal angle too for Matty wood but you can’t you can’t leave you can’t let him just drive and shoot matd is a world class player and and that’s the reason why and South Australia now down by two it’s a 4-2 game and uh they need to get some ascendency out of this face off that’s how they beat Victoria yesterday and uh you see stocky there just uh being beaten there by salt Aaron Salter kicks the ball down here so use again from wa the last time they met in the first game it was a 137 game on day one of the championship ship so wa on that Proviso should be favorite and uh with the home crowd but South Australia have played some fantastic lacrosse in this tournament absolutely absolutely as uh Western Australia make some Personnel changes to their offensive set can see that Gillespie’s come on and now has the ball along with moyá nine minutes to go in this second turn Ethan moer passes the ball down the back as cook as to come up looks to pressure there from Hansford gets his hands top side and a good check there ball to be run on the deck is won by moer Moyer just kicks it over to Woody and he says how about we settle this down a bit and get our formation back y you can see cookie was sending uh Gillespie to the back which he is now looking for a drive oh Waller needs to get on those hands looks inside little one off flicking up and over and that’s going to be a South Australian ball is it no just beaten to it there Watts was good out of the cage he was quick off the mark But Co he must have got a step on him Coy looking for a bit of a dance at the back of cage to push him back push him in the circle and he is in the circle no goal great defense there from Young English and Cody just said straight away he was in the crease when he shot that right on the spot there was uh the official and a great uh great call there right on the spot just got in the crease and uh South Australia will bring the ball out they’ve looked to for Cody not to clear this ball but Pat Palmer his glenell teammate looks for it Watts with the ball down the back Gil coming towards it and Gilly just trying to run his man around kicks up looks inside Benny Newman and good work with the onside there Newman looks up to Gil good to see Gil coming uh and using those meters gained at the moment is he yeah I’d like to see if he’s got his uh timer on to see what steps he’s doing so Gil finds his way back to the customary X position and South Australia do they have an answer for these two unanswered goals in this second term ball with haset under massive pressure there wall with the ball at the Top Kicks it on and stock looking to take on bowater looks to stop it’s not a day to dodge unfortunately the ground under foot is there and St loses the ball ball down and he just kicks it straight to the keeper and there’s a ball coming out good work there from Waller looks inside great pass to boater boater has Williams on him boater steps down opportunity here ball comes out oh that’s an over back that is going to be an sa ball as it trickles out of bounds Miss pass and the ball rolls out of bounds and uh Scotty Gil will come and get the ball for the over and back so an opportunity there for a transition goal for w way shut down by sa SAA looking to dodge and uh I just don’t think it’s a day for it you’re watching people slip every time they get to that dodging position I think the Cutters and we saw that in the women’s game yes absolutely those Cutters work to treat and Sam hisy look at him he’s got all two legs and two arms and he’s doing all right so recovered from Wally’s uh W’s world and uh ball up the top with hood we saw Hood fire one here another one off the bar from Hood that’s and that’s going to be a South Australian ball closest to the ball although cookie was uh trying to plead his case saying he wanted it said he was closer but the ball was further down the field so as they was closer I’ll tell you what great effort from cook though to realize that and Patty Palmer just said oh you weren’t far off and ball back up the top here with Williams he’s guarded by Dennis Williams to move the ball down the left side Gil with the ball down the back picked up by Wally looks up looks to Williams cutter comes in pick comes in Hood good work there from uh just flicks it out there and I’ll tell you what Ashby Dennis is wearing Kai Williams like the cheapest suit that I have ever bought he is uh all over him and I tell you what it’s probably plaid I reckon it’s back to the 70s and uh turn over here from South Australia you know what Ash will be loving it absolutely loving the challenge of playing Kai and I’m sure Kai’s probably enjoying the challenge too as you see um the ball mve into West Strange offense through Walker and uh we’ve probably got about four and a half minutes to go in this second term wa with the only scores this uh quarter it is a 4-2 game if you are just joining us on the Australian Lacrosse Network Where Have You Been cuz uh there’s been some great games here on the Australian Lacrosse Network and here’s another one in process ball out with wood wood looking to go down the back finds Walker up the top picked up by Hansford Hansford looks to uh pick up looks inside just a little high pressure to be had on the ground here ground ball looks uh to get the ball we got have a flag here great work from Young Jack H got the ball in his stick and we’re going to have a uh legal body on the uh number one of South Australia and I know all the injes will be watching they watched uh Mia in the last game they’ll be have the big screen on on a Sunday afternoon in Adelaide absolutely no doubt about that so ball back in the Middle with hasket hasket kicks it to Waller Waller over to stock man up opportunity is this the opportunity for South Australia to put another one in ball down the back the first couple of man UPS haven’t worked but have they dialed it in this time ball back up the top little rotation starting to happen kicks it to stock stock will rotate the other side look down in the bottom corner oh miss and that’s going to be a Wa ball that’s a uh oh that is as a coach that is evil not getting the backup in a man up opportunity absolutely and ball kicked out into bowater ball to be one great work there from hasket hasket he’s just uh great work from boow bow water flicks it over pressure everywhere on the ground yeah as they really double triple Walker getting pushed here by two uh Hansford now just running him around Walker finds Bobo open and he uh will get a timeout called here from Frenchie he’s just going to let him get some air back in the lungs and wa with a timeout and uh what we might do is have a look at that crease call on replay down here with that no goal allowed right on the spot was panting Kim panting that is yep as he comes around the corner here beats his man gets in and right there steps on the crease great call from panting and uh foot on the line before he uh put the ball away so officials doing a great job here yes absolutely tone they are world class umpires though most of them have umpired at International level so you know we do expect they know what they’re talking about and making the correct calls and I that was definitely the correct call there by panting and I’ll tell you the intensity of this game the black and White’s getting a drink on as well they’re going to need it if it keeps at this pace absolutely so uh ball is about to start out here with wa South Australia will uh look to shut this one down but wa looking to uh just put another notch on the Belt before they come to half time and uh 3 minutes and 4 seconds we’re hearing in this quarter as Walker will come up and take the ball the General in the wa men’s team Loy Walker penalty is about to be released all right so we got even numbers about 3 minutes left in this uh second term yep cook back on the field for West Australia ball being drawn taken down The Far Side by moer moer across to koswara and ball kicked out the outer side here to Wood Wood he’s looking to run this left hand post against a shorty locked fires and that one goes I think across the face yeah it did straight across the face backed up by kwi but Coy again looking to go straight away that could almost be a uh no ROV good there’s got to be a free man here if W can move the ball looks in the middle Sako open up the top to Walker Walker kicks the ball out freeze the hands goar oh tip and up and over what a save by wats we’re right behind that what a great camera angle up there from uh Robbie Lawson now it’s Cookie’s turn cross to soo or Ryan hocky little flip there hocky wants to get inside right hand fires it to the right so some shots starting to happen here for W South Australia can they hold out this moer comes down the side oh still not on that’s the third shot maybe the fourth in this period uh this period of offense 140 we’re hearing in the term so 140 to go in the second term nearly halime here at the beautiful woo junor L Lacrosse Club and having the crowd built up here as we see wood get around oh just uh fires it past the left hand post and no damage done even a crowd sitting behind the goals obviously with a net up there to protect them so got great viewing on that offense and defense right there they just I mean that’s 3D action right there with the ball coming at you we just hope that net holds up yeah it will as ball down the back to moer picked up from the woo man hisy just drives to get through Cook’s pick looks up he’s picked up by Patty Palmer got to go looking for shot cook he does right on the uh almost on the halftime buzzer there just got mixed up there did Pat Palmer and Sammy hisy did not come with that uh defense as he thought he was holding his man as we watch on the replay here shot had from cook you just see here hisy coming up he gets held up there Sam doesn’t go quick enough and the celebration cookie likes his handiwork on that one and uh puts that one between the five hole of watts and a 5-2 game and uh cook with his first of the game came coming off a six goal game against Victoria so is he starting to heat up Cookie it’s the cook in the kitchen that’s question are the burners just about to ignite as we’ve got a Faceoff challenge here stock good work there in the face from sua Suter out the back picked up by the goal scorer in briyan Brian is there another one here oh just misses the handle Patty Palmer went the body cook collects and cook 40 seconds left on the clock cook see Richard told him to chill as he’s running to the bench and Cook’s like no I’m just going to take it to X so uh an opportunity 30 seconds clock about to come on the field as we hear the 302 Cole ball to Sako 25 seconds ball back up the top to Ryan hockey they’ll be looking for the last shot 20 seconds just has a little slip ball up to Wood Wood will look to free his hands here have we got Gillespie open on this side picks up stock to shorty 10 seconds on the shot clock shot about to be released here looked inside Fir and down low again wowe and galesby right on the halftime buzzer I didn’t think he was going to shoot it puts that away and that is a dagger in the sa boys parts right on half time looking at the replay so ball is given to Wood Wood across the top turns it back Gillespie just loses both players there one slip took out the feet of the other Defender and Gillespie just sat there and went right I got no one defending me step in on Cody and went through the legs again he certainly took his time and Clark that is going to be Hal Time Charlie Clark gets his opportunity draw that and um and wins that uh face off against stock but uh the whistle has gone and we are at halim we’ve got a 62 ball game in favor of the home team Western Australia and they say the third quarter is a Premiership quarter well a 4-0 second there from W might have just put the cat amongst the pigeons have sa got what to uh what they need to come back here or if wa about to uh do what they did look at the crowd building up here at the uh at the uh one up Lacrosse Club there is people everywhere and why wouldn’t you be on Championship day uh we might um go through some goal scorers here so we might go back to quarter 1 and have a look at all the goals so far in this contest yep that first one will be Kai Williams which we’ll see just takes him down the back we’ll look for this little swim move just one step twep and uh tell you what pop that one over the shot of uh r yeah they started so well but uh here south Australia they got the first two and we’ll see hasket lining up for that uh Lane there again that that slide came but didn’t put any pressure and has got able to feed a little hole and then it was Loy Walker who just managed to pick up a loose ball down the back comes around the back corner that little backand flick over the top and watt’s not ready for that one yeah beautiful move by Walker and then it was Kara and Coy did the same thing just came up and around loses his defense gets hands free top side and uh I wasn’t sure whether code got a foot on that one and it just trickled back over but it went in the back of the net nevertheless oh panning back to the crowd and then uh the goals in the fourth quarter they were all wa sorry second quarter uh was was Bryant on this fastb break you just see here the shorty loses his man Palmer doesn’t come across or doesn’t have time to come across don’t know what the shorty was thinking there let that extra pass come and let those slid no slide and then uh we had wood with the big Lefty drive down the the lane and again just a good shot and skidded through that they’ve really targeted though that five hole down low with Watts y then cookie wants a bit of space he loves a drive from X cookie look at the defense though you know that guy is set there to be that help D and just went late and didn’t give much opportunity and then down late you see the two SAA boys take each other out and Gillespie on on the knock of half time Pops that one down to the five hole we got a 62 game here live and free on the Australian Lacrosse Network we hope you’re enjoying uh this action here we might have a quick five minute break we’ll be back very shortly live and free on the Australian Lacrosse Network e e as the uh teams come back from the halim break we see uh Western Australia leading 62 here do South Australia have what’s left in him to just eat this back have we got a Golden Goal game we’ve seen this all week sh shandel you lost you lost me name you’re so excited no I just uh choked on my tongue oh um I don’t know it’s a it’s a game of momentum right now oh and there’s a break there so it’s going to be a I thought it was an sa ball yeah it is an sa ball so West Australia face off broke there giving stock the clear well we saw that yesterday in the Victorian game so is that uh is that the little switch that gets here as as Hood comes on picked up there by Richards Richards up to stock and ball comes down to Williams Williams got one already for the day ended up with six yesterday G is he the man today to light the fuse of this sa side or is Waller up against the shorty looks to rotate back he gets his hands free one hand little shot but a foul on the play that’s going to be a hold the slide had stepped away there so the slide had come for for was it Walla that was just taking that shot and then um stepped away and so he saw the opportunity took the shot but the the keeper was able to make the safe meanwhile there was a foul obviously on the play so West Australia will be in man down and South a can execute or try to execute their power play well they haven’t uh found a power play goal yet South Australia but I know they’ve played it exceptionally well all week as uh Liam Bryant will sit down for that 30 second hold and uh the great thing about these 30 second technical penalties is is it’s it’s half a minute not a lifetime and uh most coaches don’t get too upset by those absolutely ball down the back good defense here from wa just about to be released 5 seconds on the penalty so they look to uh gil on the fall don’t know where that’s gone that’s gone high in the air stuck uh and Gil out on the hands looks up Richard got a PA piece and then got to the keeper the keepers uh move the ball on quickly down the field to Matt Wood and wood kicks it straight to kwar there’s a break on here and wats his great save down low as stock gives the ball back to Watts he’s got Waller so an opportunity here for South Australia he’s got a runner with him in englas there’s a man opportunity here a fast man break out comes Dennis Dennis looks down kick Waller is open on the backside but wa get back into defense exceptionally well looked inside and that’s going to be a uh loose ball foul no that is an that is a penal 30 second penalty on cookie oh so for an illegal procedure so South Australia with another opportunity gills open up in the in the crease there a few times on the so maybe they uh go to use him W just he’s grabbed two there’s two looks fires oh that’s a tink off the bar I thought that went in from angle the way the ball was moving through the air I was like that’s on his non-stick side 8 seconds on the penalty about to be released sa can move the ball quickly well they looking to have a good uh six-man set penalty released South Australia look down oh just trying to feed holes there hasket is just going to take it down the back and hasket will bring it up to Waller Waller guarded by Bryant yep certainly taking their time now bring the ball very wide obviously you see something he’s looking for a a little Dodge at the top switch comes there good switch there from Wally B with the he’s a smart player as Williams Oh great work there from Dennis and but even better from Williams to get it back oh there’s a little bit going on a flag and they always get the Retaliator and that Retaliator will be wa and we’re going to see spet hit the box that’s really disappointing for wa because uh Ashby worked so hard there to get that ball to to play really good defense really composed make the right checks and then pick up the ground ball and he was getting it out of there and to have that retaliation call is is disappointing so uh just that real undisciplined there I mean look they did wear one as W of fir and watch out that’s come off a stick that’s going to be a South Australian ball y you can hear the crowd go wild when it it’s heading there their Direction Ashby Dennis for me in this defense at the moment is doing a Monster job yeah he is an amazing lacrosse player so uh ball down the back still in that one minute penalty ball back up the top to Waller look to run this little F and a good save great pick up there and this is a man that loves to go Coast to Coast he’s picked up look just protects his stick he’s a lefty and they’ve seen him shoot before and good work there from Jack Waller just to uh turn him back and the general that was a great clear by Richards well uh Walker with the ball just waiting for the penalty to be released which is about to come in two seconds all right and there it is so even numers six on six so wa able to shut down those ManUp opportunities from sa and now an opportunity to put another one on the board as Walker steps down looks in fires it across the face yeah too much angle he he lost his angle he he just obviously his legs went faster than his stick and he was heading down towards um G and uh didn’t have any angle on that one he’s got Co Cody just picking pockets and uh yeah Cody sees that watch the eyes there and uh just uh trying to create he’s got Palmer up the top there’s a couple of Outlet out of side englas oh sorry that’s Newman Watts looks back over that’s engas and kicks it back to Watts oh just making it hard on the keeper there by throwing it back and forth yeah and the wind’s really just picked up too all of a sudden Newman he’ll want to run it over he’s going to run into moer as he gets it up and over and kicks it up to you and lock and you and lock will pick up the shorty and bring it down to uh through X not there yet Dennis again on William just um love that match up and I get I it just looks like they’re tied in mental and physical at the moment South Australia y simple pass down to hasket just not on the money and it’s not good enough in this uh competition in a gold medal game to turn the ball over after all the hard work down the other end you just see Sako running through the middle there to get that clear Outlet as well so no man riding Sako in that transition Sako gives the ball over to mty Wood and wood wa with the ascendancy here it’s no score in this third turn but a 6-2 game for uh wa over South Australia at the moment and we see Rodriguez he loves to come down right just that floats it back like he looked at his stick like what was that and I was asking the same question and uh GES with the ball W oh Fir and I tell you what that little floater then just looked like wood was catching butterflies when the ball came to him over his head down the back cookie with the ball looks to turn oh little btb some little bit of special there from Mr Griffin cook and uh just got the defense turned back can’t wait to see this one on the replay show me it again love a bit of special this is where we get lucky we get to see it live then we get to watch on a replay so just beats his man up looks to come back and that’s a very good shot with the keeper on the pipe Griffin cook take the hat off he’s got two and it’s heating up in the kitchen as cookie gets his second and the first of the third ter as ball gets flicked out the back ball to be one good contest and uh things just run in wa’s way at the moment ball oh Scotty Gil coming up to the restraining line trying to get a crack at Bobo but uh good his air braks still work 39 is good to see him out there got a couple of veterans in our sa and wa team as the ball comes back up the top there and uh now down to cook cook with something special in that last goal yeah he he’s he’s got a plan obviously look at him but when it works once do it again I always say it kwara kicked up here to Walker Walker looks back to kwara good save there and uh comes off of Cody and Cody come on he says come on boys let’s get some talk out there let’s have some uh communication you can’t have people shooting from there ball comes around the corner not there back to Walker Walker up to gespi Gillespie picks up the shorty looks to come down the right look he wants to have a crack at the B he’s saying if you’re going to do it cook I’m going to do it too I’ll tell you what cook he has he has size Advantage when he does the btb it’s a Cody’s knees when Gillespie does it it’s above his head so uh ball back up with cook picked up by stock got a short Pole look get in again he’s got there kwar save there from wats Big save by wats that’s a couple in a row that’ll be great for his confidence and uh I think Cody said that uh yeah he had over 20 saves the first time they played this two this team and one fires back and eventually the floodgates just have to break if there’s shots coming like that and Walker on the board again and the wa out to an 8-2 lead here let’s have a look at the replay on this one Walker bringing in from the uh boundary drives up takes on his Defender again just the defense is allowing the uh attacker to get top side and being able to free their hands yeah needed more contact there as a Defender you’ve got to get up in that space and push them back and and just shut down that space it’s too easy for Quality attackers when they get top side and free hands to be able to free those hands and these guys are good Shooters good work out the back here ball picked up not quite yet from Lock that’s off a red ball kicks it back down the back wa just uh getting the roll of the green at the moment but they’re uh making their own luck out here they sure are sa has hasn’t scored since the first quarter so they need to get the ball back and start putting some away as the pressure looks to come down the back Richards Richards with the ball back to Johnson and Johnson fires over there to Dennis now Dennis is one that doesn’t mind coming down and have it a shot either just quietly oh Ashby loves it it comes from about 12′ s when he shoots with that long stick gives the ball over to Matty wood looking for a cook at the back of the goal and cook just passing it back through X down the back there I think that’s Rodriguez down there back up here to Wood Wood so six minutes we’re hearing on the clock to go in this third ter and ball down the back cook with some fancy footwork he did this the other night comes back the other way oh just allow him to get free hands again great Trail check there from Newman ball in the center Watts trying to fight for it down the back great ball movement there out to moer Mo up to Wood so unsettled defense here now Palmer tries to get out of the hand kicks it to moer moer fires oh wats great save up like a book there what’s did and hisy uhoh where’s Walton he says where’s the Hy under massive pressure quite incredible stick control great work from hisy and uh ball look back hisy wants want some more action he unfortunately trips over at the last minute Ball come down to Wood Wood he’s got to go to him got numbers fires Watts with a big save again and Watts having an absolute Bel in the cage mat would to bring that ball in unfortunate for hisy there just lost his I know that first bit of H play where he had the three guys on him incredible stick control and then gets it back and lost his footing poor bugger there’s a try to be a hidden ball trick there but uh all over it is Pat Palmer Ryan hockey kicks it up to Gillespie Gillespie picks up uh hisy need to guard that man a little bit closer than that Sammy good pick on Sako ball kicks in oh that one’s well wide and high and that’s probably taking out a window out the back in a car somewhere yeah we got the great man Chris Plum lurking around the commentary box I think it must be killing him standing on the sideline today so uh ball down the back and Gillespie he looks to uh move this ball he’s picked up hisy Sam hisy looks to inside roll Cody and got to be better defense than that gave him a big man of uh Jordan Gillespie and uh just uh found it on the bottom corner as we watch on the replay here just took him down the back comes up and you see Sam disengaged with him here just allows him to roll back in if you’re going to do that you’ve got to push him towards the crease absolutely he could see Sam did not like that either he could see was he really took that one hard and wa Is she starting to uh sing here at the uh after some really close games all week it’s a 9-2 final and wa looking to uh get their Championship back good work there that’s going to be a timeout here time out on South Australia again another good timeout there from cam Cam’s still looking very calm oh Cam that’s his nature isn’t it he uh they call him ice man don’t they he just never uh never looks flustered I haven’t called him Iceman I’ve called him a lot of things myself but I haven’t called him Iceman um the only time you have icem man is uh when I have that bourbon and Coke can I have Iceman okay and in it feel those later he tone after just to uh just to get the voice right but it is uh We’ve uh what have we got here about four minutes to go in the uh third term and uh wa got heckling coming from the back stop clock asking for stop clock is it stop clock it is stop clock when it is a timeout uh there is uh stop clock in this I believe uh after every goal or a timeout sounds out plumy wants a closer game I think uh well there was a 40-minute quarter the other day I hear over in one of the games between wa and Queensland time out after the goals it was they were timed at or wa Vic was it yep so I reckon there was nearly a 40 minute quarter it’s stop clock after each goal isn’t it yeah after each goal yeah that’s what I thought I’m just getting confirmation from in the women’s in the women’s game no we’re just playing running clock unless there’s a card uh as lock will start with the ball moves it across the field so sa can they get their offense working that it’s been doing well all week and uh this man here with the ball in his stick Kai Williams has been doing a fantastic job but wa they’ve uh they’ve uh seen that matchup and I tell you what he’s just about MVP out there at the moment is uh Dennis Dennis and the pressure is now coming from boat 2 leaving one high for South Australia’s offense balls moved low to the back corner Hood picking up Briant there ball up the top as ball comes over here to Yan lock against Richards Richards lock kicks the ball over here to hood hood goes to run on the left hand side fakes ahead little FL flag on the play and just see the flag height there from Shane Abbott that had uh oh Gil just uh getting a little check to take it out of his stick as he went to shoot tell you what I’m glad that breeze isn’t up that would have got stuck in the top of the trees over there and uh we got a one minute penalty there and I couldn’t see who is wearing that at the moment it is uh okay so that’s Bryant it’s a shorty so they’ve got the four long Poes and one shorty on the field so uh sa with another ManUp opportunity can they get one back here and just maybe start a bit of momentum you’re just never out of this game well are they’re looking looks inside nothing there just going to play it safe keep moving the ball around the outskirts of the offensive zone Gil lurking on the back corner Hood might pop out here does looks to pop out Gil looks to come in just a flicking down gil on that bottom corner looks down fir oh up top and uh great save there from Rhett Johnson quick ball movement over to the keeper back from Richards and looks up to the Box good Outlet finds Dennis Dennis up and over is there a timeout coming here for wa nope give it to the general and uh 15 seconds left on this penalty about to be released as Walker has the ball up the top Walker just waiting for it and penalty is now released as Daniel boater will make his way off for a substitute shoot as Moyer comes on and coming behind him is Rodriguez so Walker down the right hand side looks across oh great pass there to kwara and there’s an assisted goal and Coy on the board great pass from Lucky Walker let’s have a look at that again on the replay so Walker just waiting for that penalty to be released drives the ball down the right side looks up sees kwara and kwar Pops it behind Cody wats Cody wats has had a a huge quarter make quite a few saves here so hasn’t seen a ball for a couple of minutes and uh kwar is able to capitalize on that yeah I’ll tell you again a happy cameraman up there with an assisted goal just runs down looks the other side keeper has to come from one pipe to the other very difficult to stop and uh the uh smarts of kwara gets his second of the game stocky little oh gets one across the body there but Robins racing as uh loose ball just Advantage cold Gil getting monstered down there as uh the uh the uh flexibility there are we’re going to see the Hulk smash again from Walton not to be that time ball moves out to keeper Johnson he’s going to step out of the crease pressure’s coming he’s got a couple of guys coming off the bench which he’s seen as well just makes it difficult but picking it off the toenails is uh is Rodriguez as great ball control there from Jaden Rodriguez doubles coming and Williams run it over and tiptoes the chips on that white line not to go offside and ball up to kwara KY with the last goal he’s got two for the game over to Sako back to cook Across The Far Side to moyá up to Gillespie Gillespie’s been dangerous and he’s got a short stick matchup bit of fancy footwork looking to come around on his right side tops side takes a shot goes wide wide good good short stick defense there from Jack Waller just keeping on the hands not allowing him to really free them and just enough pressure there to uh push that ball wide kzu just uh with a sneaky little cut there but Soaker didn’t see it oh wood look at a turn on his left here good work there from englas back up the Top Kicks it over back down to cook cook down the back lots of side on the left side here if he wants to come this way there from moer and uh ball coming back around the left hand side moer pops it over defense slips there in Hansford and uh just able to get within that 3 or 4 M of the keeper y as we watch here on the replay you could also see Gillespie hanging high he just comes around at the top in just a moment waiting waiting waiting for the shot you’ll see him cut across now saying here I am but moer goes NOP I’m going to take this one and buries the ball in the back of the net so uh wa really eeking out this third ter limited time left in it that’s a five goal third term and again unanswered sa not scoring since the first quarter and out to an 112 lead here wa tell you what if that’s the wind blowing or she’s starting to sing but 30 seconds left on the clock and that’s going to be a penalty there is it for a hold no going to be an sa ball going to stock loose ball got lock sees lock down to Gilly immediately Gil’s fumbled and you can see he’s not happy with that well I’m going to say I don’t think Gilly fumbled that was a terrible pass down to that too that too sorry that’s stretching hamstrings for a 39 year old I’m not going to blame Gilly for that one you and lock just uh and they’re obviously just starting to feel a little tight here as Rett gets uh wow great work there from uh lot of pressure from sa on the keeper as Richards runs it across the field ball to be one ball on the ground and uh don’t shoot the ball and good work there from wood you see that sometimes where they pick the ball up and the whistle goes and they shoot the ball and they get an unsportsman like for shooting after the whistle yep um just looking at the crowd here there it’s about seven Deep Off The Boundary so numbers certainly growing or here for the big game and they’re probably staying along quarter three highlights coming up all right so it was all wa in quarter three as it was in quarter two and we saw here the first one with cook just gets around the backside here beats his man at a btb special that was lovely wasn’t it little bit of special from cie I love the creativity and then uh we had Walker and Walker Dodge from the back as well he just beat his man too easily here able to free the hands and I tell you what Cody’s seen some shots this week he’s starting to see some more and then ball down the back to Gillespie Gillespie just rolls inside too easy on that short stick the slide doesn’t get to him from the coma slide and puts that one away and then we had Coy this was just a great pass here from Walker look at him kicked over keeper on this left hand pipe had to get all the way over and then it was Moyer coming down the back you see the slip from moyá and the defender here goes down right there and uh and that’s and that’s probably this young sa side to be honest yep playing in their some of them in their first ever championship game as we see a goalie change here and the big man Josiah Bidwell Barton comes in for his uh fourth quarter action in Championship Game Y and uh good to see Jay in there yeah we’ve got comments online we’ve got Connor Wilson from New York saying didn’t realize Griff cook was in playing in wa what a great addition we’ve got uh Ellen Hood hoping for wa to come back Peter greenho my uh old mate Peter greenh says great crowd sty Stacy Upton let’s go Reds Community Sports show all the way wa uh crao benam Wally was talking about oh might have done a hamstring there or a cal what’s he done saly or knee back to the play we’ll put those just watching SOI here he pulled up very sharply there has he had an injury or come in with an injury cuz he’s very propy yep it looks like a uh left CF maybe he’s a little bit sore out there we’ll keep an eye on him but uh up and about I’ll tell you what he takes his helmet off and he’s not happy but uh I’ll tell you what he’s done his work today out there SOI and ball in the of Rodriguez Jaden will kick the ball down oh that’s making hard work down there s just pulls a stick back to his left over to Walker just chilling at X the general doing his work seees something oh good cut there and he saw kwara cutting through the middle of the tell you what they have a bit of chemistry those two that’s their second assisted goal in about as many minutes and you saw the replay here Walker just bringing the ball up and up the top here we see Walker coming through Coy coming through sorry they just uh playing uh almost off ball cter comes through these guys are too good to give them any space there and kwara with another one he gets a hattick in the first of the fourth ter and it’s party time for wa in the fourth quarter break here well there you go Jackson sock break and uh Charlie Clark that one don’t say that often from stock looks inside a one-onone and I’ll tell you what Cody wats he is very very unhappy with his defense there as you would be he’s just sitting there going where is my help and the Shorty’s just not giving him any whatsoever you look here ball comes down just looks inside and watch him he’s running all alone where’s the shorty wow tring 10 m behind and uh just not happy at all the sa goalkeeper with that Sparks he uh you wouldn’t be real happy with that one either no he’s happy right now cuz his wa’s up but uh tell you what when you’re in the cage and you’re seeing that sort of stuff and wa it really is party time as our ball is one out of the center by Clark sorry yeah by Charlie Clark I’m hearing Chuck to my right but we call Charlie Clark Chuck uh ball is moving down through Clark and South Australia just uh really for a swim move so there’s some party tricks about to happen here I think as uh come around the corner looks again kwara pops another one away and uh the floodgates here are about to open starting to really open up here let’s hope they’re the only floodgates that open up today cuz the weather here is holding up just nicely and we’ve got the big women’s game coming up after this we do Victoria and Western Australia and the replay on this just see coming upside and that’s just happened all day those Defenders are letting the attackers get top side freeing hands and from four or five M they’re just letting them rip and uh they did just that there and a big goal and another one and we’re out to a 132 game here wa with one hand on the trophy now Clark up against stock stock picks that one but uh looks like Clark’s going to get that ground ball possession which he does back to B and the crowd are enjoying this Tom Moyer looks down the back kicks it down there to kwara coar looks to come to that right hand side again picked up by Benny Newman ball up the top to Wood he’s guarded there by North just part passes him off does north and uh it is a 14-2 game sorry you can see Cody resetting in the cage waiting for a shot at any point he’s got cook with the ball cook looking inside for an option Soo Ryan hocky puts that one in the back of the net there playing a game of assists now a man down in that situation so uh wa at will at the moment and uh it is uh really starting to blow out here as we see the replay here just found him in the middle and open just there and not much uh you can uh ask more for as an attacker than getting an open in the crease and firing it I actually missed who got that one Ryan hocky oh Hawks got it so Ryan hocky that’s four early in the uh fourth Charlie Clark against stock again so Clark really starting to get some opportunity here in the face and uh big competition balls flicked out the way of South Australia’s defense Richards hot on the tail oh bang goes Richards as ball off a red stick and uh we’ll see stock sub penalty’s been released so we’re six on six and uh ball back up the top here wa absolutely in control as I said it was a 137 game last time these guys met today it looks like it’s going to be a much bigger deficit and wa doing what they do at will at the moment we get more down on young Lucas Hansford yeah wa deciding to really put on a show now for the crowd they they’ve come to watch him and so now they’re just having some fun out there um sa still playing really hard still working really hard obviously if penalties are coming means they’re definitely going hell for leather and um sa to clear the ball now through uh Jack Waller Jack Waller just asking to clear through he’s left his man and Waller looks to uh get a foot race on here he’s got three on him looks to go back he’s got a clear man here with Palmer Palmer has Watts behind him and he goes back there now making code really stretch those hamstrings needs a get a bit get a bit of height there he does I don’t think he’s ever going to have a chance of that ands time ball with watts and uh he’s looking for some uh movement here as uh Newman kicks over great stretch there from Newman and ball is going to be called timeout here as cam Adams uses up that last timeout of the four fourth term of the of the game for him yep and he just wants to uh I’ll tell you what he I’ll tell you what cam will want here he will want the sa guys to get down there and just start to play their offense that they’ve been playing all day you know what get a little bit of pride in the Jersey get one back and just celebrate the little victories now cuz uh they’ve done a fantastic job to get into this position and although the game is well out of touch that’s what he’ll be telling them 11 minutes are here on the clock chandel yep yeah and you can see cam like he’s still so calm so composed you can see in his hand movements there’s no you know it’s not like we’re watching AFL and there’s a spray it’s just so calm come on boys let’s get it together let’s play sa brand of Lacrosse again like I said such a compose coach and um SWA pack and we see uh Toby Raymond just uh with his defensive group just comes off as well so let’s have a look at what uh cam has got the boys to do here you know he will he literally will he’s such a positive uh guy most times Cam and and you look at his demeanor you know he knows this game’s done well if there’s any more chill’d be asleep like he’s just a chilled guy but uh the ball he’s your roommate isn’t he at the moment well I’m his roommate okay I’ll say that he’s they’ve been gracious enough to put Gilly and I up down with the sa boys and then Gilly winds up on the field as uh sa looking to drive that left side I’m just glad I didn’t bring my gear over cuz that would not be a good side I wish it had happened to I really don’t um but Gil just loses the handle of the ball Wally he’s been he’s played well today too Walton and ball to Williams Williams looks to go on the right hand side oh good take just uh off the bar was it or bidw button and nothing going right for South Australia here as Sparky has a massive smile on his face uh ball comes back through boow water boow water carrying the ball the ball taxi I’m learning from you tone Oh you love the ball taxis I just think it’s hilarious I’ve just never thought to call a player that as uh they get rubber poisoning most times because they take the ball so much but ball back up to boow water boow water over to M Wood and there’s nothing better feeling than in a championship game when you are 152 up and there’s uh 10 minutes to go and you know this one’s uh going to be a celebratory night and wa uh will just look to add a little more pain for South Australia as the ball kicks down the back there to moer Y moer uh sorry looking for the right option being very patient oh fake question mark there by Ryan hocky he’s going to fire that and Cody with another save so tell you what he might need an nice bath after uh the leg saves wi again great save from Watts that is a uh good shot but great save and the ball goes out of bounds and that will be an sa bow he has uh had an outstanding week Cody watts and uh those two saves late in the day he’s just as likely to uh hang up the uh but he’s a competitor and even though uh he’s going to wear them on the legs and they’re always good on a Monday morning as Watts will look to clear over there kicks it to C Camp see Camp looks up and finds hasket hasket brings the ball into offense 8 and a half to go in the uh championship game Cody ringing his hand maybe he got one right on the finger there as ball down with hasket hasket just taking some time waiting for his offensive group to work out their structure has taking the ball to X Gilly coming around the front to the crease going to replace him and ball with hasket getting monstered down there and defense oh steps inside hasket he been here before there’s a penalty on that as the flag hide again from Shane Abbott with a cross check being called here on Gillespie I think it is seizing the moment and uh hin he got in there yesterday to uh put mind you he was on his knees when he did it to put a dagger through Victoria’s heart in that Golden Goal game but not able to finish in front of the cage he’s had a great tournament too uh Noah Hask yeah I mean yesterday yeah winning that Golden Goal well he’s only a young man he’s just turned 19 I believe wow was that young and youan lock another one of those young guys as Waller he’s been good all week too he has and Y Yan lock I think he’s only just turned 18 so a really young side here for South Australia but they’ve come up against the might of wa today yeah about eight minutes left in this quarter kicks over looks to hasket this is good ball retention South Australia haven’t had a lot of offense today up to lock lock looks down the bottom fire good work there from Bidwell Barton and he’s a crown favorite is Jay he loves it I think it’s the flow I think it’s the throw it back in and he’s getting uh ball and penalty about to be released here for wa and uh Ball kicked over Denis down finds himself down in the forward line and he goes you know what I’ve done my job Ashby Dennis just will uh go back and sit in the defense yeah again he’s my MVP today Ashby Dennis yeah looking for his mate Kai Williams down there uh wa just taking their time making some switches in their offense Matty wood with the ball him and uh luy Walker just having a chat at the top as uh as Moya comes on sorry Soo comes on and uh is Rodriguez are they talking about what they’re going to order their first beer there cuz they’ve spent a lot of time chatting up the top yeah lucky Walker I don’t think he drinks so no probably not or lemonade or he’s saying can you get me a water and I’ll and I’ll get your you know I might buy I’ll get your next one yeah yep as uh Walker just asking uh they were talking about something happening here in wood to come down the left hand side good work there from Hood just getting on the hands kicks it back up to moer moer looking to get inside good work from C Camp ball comes down the back little BTV pass down the back Watts picks the ball up and that uh was almost checked out of the stick there well ball down ball down and a shot coming here from moer oh just everything falling wa’s way at the moment as moer gets the scraps Big Goal there just in interested uh with this play here right Ball kicked up the top for those who can’t see Tony’s got a pointer as he he’s walk talking through the he’s well I’m watching what the defense are doing two here and that was just an unsettled play bit of a scrapman goal and moer I tell you what he was a scrap man right there picks it up Step 2 one bang goal Moyer gets his second for the day as there’s a tussle for the ball in the middle flicks out the way of wa’s offense Matty wood to pick that up and wood he’s not finished yet either wood looks to come down he’s certainly been an assist man today too looks up the top comes on oh the uh oh got to get better than that substitution coming off the bench was about 5 m behind and just needed to really burn down there yeah great move by kwar just a cut straight through the gut to the crease looking for an opening if you get a meter don’t ever give it up yeah and there he is again cutting through uh got Gillespie coming on with the ball now ball up the top so wa looking uh well in control here at 162 at the wner jindel up Lacrosse Club as kwar gets around good save there from wats and uh ball out the back cookie saying he wants to go left side oh there’s a little flip coming here is it no going to roll back in there’s a flip oh that’s Tink Tink Tink off the bar oh and the crowd was like oh I’m sure everyone at home had them and ball coming down the back they’re just shooting at will at the moment a wa I’d like to see uh how many shots have been taken today from wa I’m sure goo will have those stats I oh another BTV from Woody that’s what they’re doing they’re starting to get the party lights on and ball down the back and this is uh cookie looking to Fire and if there wasn’t enough damage done cookie Pops that one with the no look up the top left hand and we’ll see this one on our replay comes from X again cookie gets up but again just just no space and the slide was too late the defense needs to get in the face of that and not allow that shot just steps off defense doesn’t step in the hole and cookie he just uh filling up the jars that are on the top shelf there I don’t call him cookie for nothing as uh the ball is drawn out the way of wa’s offense against Matty wood trying to interfere picked up by Charlie Clark so 72 is the score if you uh join joining us uh maybe you’re just joining us thinking the women’s game’s on it’s going to be up after this wa and Victoria for the championship final in the women’s yeah they haven’t come out yet I thought they’d be out warming up but they are nowhere to be seen Game does start at45 as far as I know so uh ball up the top kick down to cook cook over there to Wood to Walker down to moer four four minutes you’re hearing the same thing I am I’m hearing the same thing you are ton oh no we’re just both got a Chris wall and as I say that wa just starts to make their way around the back of the offense where the play is now and a shot there that’s in the back of the net hit the back of the neck good pressure there from C Camp C Camp as Cody kicks the ball over looks up finds Higgins Higgins who’s his next option what got to watch out behind him as the check from uh cookie but knocks the ball in the way of West Australia’s Direction and Rodriguez there’s going to be Cutters coming everywhere and one of them is along longy and ‘s up and over and Joseph why not have a crack Joseph Manning went let me get in on the party boys I tell you what sparks he’s loving it lovees seeing a goal Pole or a pole goal or either way whatever you want to say however you want to say it it is great when it comes off but uh ball is now on the stick of mattwood three minutes of the gamewood again able to free the hands and that had fire on that shot they’re throwing a lot High yeah well they look at Cody and think this face up highight but he’s uh he’s very good up there he is quick to move and he’s down Soo Pops that one down the bottom corner they’re just uh the again defense just allowing too much space and you watch here the ball comes over the back and uh there he is just walked into space the defender there just uh not not even uh watching his man yeah let him free his hands and and Soo buries it on the bottom right side and uh Hawking with his uh what’s that his second maybe or is that his first today second that’s his second second yeah of the quarter so ball in the center score is 17-2 but I’m sure everyone knows that at home 182 now I’m sorry I can see it on the Luke Luke’s not doing his job in updating the one over the air but I’ll tell you what the sparks flying in in hours and Sparks he all over here oh going to be a and there’s that be a hold Waller looks in there’s a shot coming from Williams good work there from Bidwell Barton that should be a hold I would suggest I thought that came off the defender oh cross check high for one okay that was a I mean that’s absolutely a foul yeah cross check cold there I’m getting I’m getting looks at me from the left saying amateur but oh sorry from my right oh no absolutely sorry I thought they said amateur am would have been funnier so ball back up the top with hood limited time in this Championship final wa are about to run out winners here as sa just looking to uh put another one on the board looks over there and has oh just threw that one straight to the Stick of Bidwell Barton I thought he was going to get Space there but wa is going to clear the ball and oh great check there from Hask brings the ball back into play kill I’m looking at him on the bottom corner oh just didn’t give it to him he’s still there on the bottom corner sneaking around wa still got the foul on that one’s out and that’s oh that’s just about taking someone’s uh hand off their chair down there they’re ringing fingers nearly not my idea to where where to sit no as uh Williams looking bid Buton says get out of here not in my house you don’t 5 seconds left in the game wa about to win Bidwell Barton with a save no no no that was on the penalty oh penalty is it yeah sorry I’m excited you’re bit excited I’m like that’s the penalty that’s that that cross check from Bobo oh I’m just looking here two well I’m glad someone knows what’s going on I’m just getting excited most of the time I don’t ton I’m just backing off you I just saw the Hulk pidwell Barton come out and go bang that was huge wasn’t it so ball down the back with hood hood dancing around there’s a pick there by Williams one minute we’re hearing lock with the ball at the top have they got something something in them here Walker picked up lock lock just uh Walker picking his pocket that’s his that’s his experience coming through there with locky he’s been good today oh it’s going to carry Walker and he just says let’s settle it down and we got a time out here really charg to wa so 40 seconds left they actually do want to put a nail in this coffin you could see um locky saying let’s chill let’s calm slow it down and all of a sudden the whistle comes for the timeout okay so they get a chance to uh celebrate here don’t know that uh with a 182 score line that I would have been using my timeout right there but anyway W they have one left we’re going to get a quick replay of that uh J oh Bidwell button yep let’s have a look at that again here we go let’s see Hulk smash of uh Kai Williams there he goes just down the back he saw Williams coming in Williams beats the man inside and bang goes Bon yes indeed he does and if you get to watch that repay you’ll see Jay with the biggest smile on his face as he uh just uh puts his body on Williams that was a good hit yeah he’s a huge guy so you wouldn’t want to be behind that cross check either so wa looking to really enjoy this have they got one more in him with 40 seconds left to go in this game and they will run out winners here as South Australia their uh substitutions are heading off you know what South Australia even though the score line as it is they will be wrapped with the with what they’ve done absolutely to be here in the first place I know you talked about that you kind of said South Australia were coming out over as a culture culture trip t to make it to the championship Sunday absolute hats off credit to them they’ve been amazing all week they’ve just played their games chipped away big win yesterday over Victoria in that Golden Goal final or that sorry that round po play game that got them here and the ball comes up into moa’s hand and absolutely shindel they have uh they have played out of their skin with the young young team they brought over yeah and that’s you know that’s the thing they’re going to take away it’s all call on I’ll tell you what it’s all Happening Here y sa are going to take away a lot of experience from this game and it’s going to be bigger and better for them next year these guys now have a Championship under their belt or a tournament under their belt and they’re going to be better cookie just holding the ball well they’re just they’re just going to hold it up so the timeout was just to uh get around the boys good to see that uh wa just running out the clock here great job from wa they are the 2024 lacrosse Australia national champions taking the title away from South Australia when they won it last year as wa are up and about but congratulations to south Australia they’ve played great lacrosse all week and uh I’m sure they might have a quiet internal icing session for the boys later on as I know most of them fly out about 5:00 a.m. in the morning or 6:00 a.m. in the morning uh public holiday though tomorrow and uh what a great game from wa cannot do anything but tip our hap to the wa team congratulations to the coaches Frenchie uh Moos and Roy and uh yeah for the uh coaches of sa Adams and Raymond did a great job out there as well absolutely did hats off to cam like I said said been cool Cal and collected all week um yeah just an they’ve done a great job with the young team and I’m sure they’ll be back fit us stronger faster next year and you can Steve see Steve mortim are not suited up today he came over with a bit of a cal issue and unfortunately in the first game he played or second game he played he redid the calf so uh he wasn’t able to take any part and that that would have been pivotal for some of those games because he was a leader down there absolutely Australian sharks Captain but what we do now do we have MVPs where do you sit I know where I sit on the wa side oh I know I actually think that uh our man Ashby Dennis did a great job shutting down Kai Williams I think um offensively cookie really led a lot of that um as well as both Lucky Walker Griffin cook Matty wood I mean because the ball was in the offense so much it’s probably likely to be an offensive player but given that uh that Ashby jennis was given the job on uh Kai Williams and did it so well I think I think we’ve got to kind of look at that one well I know I know uh Frenchie and uh Moos pretty well and a two goal score line where the offense played really well I guarantee you that they’ll be looking towards a defensive player and I would say Ashby Dennis shut down Kai Williams all day and he was the difference uh for South Australia look there was people battling all day out there yeah um I think um huset had a great game I think um Newman played really well really good on the clear quite good defensively um he can’t look past stock he’s always good in the face off yeah I I I couldn’t pick I couldn’t pick uh there wasn’t a clear winner for um South Australia as there was with Ashby jennis doing that job on Kai Williams y so will they uh reward best on this ground or will they reward for the week uh this is always something for MVPs what do you reckon uh Sparky just you’re sitting behind us where do you go for MVPs for this one Ash Ashby Dennis and on South Australia uh Cody Cody all right so uh I I liked uh yeah look Cody was good there Jack Waller was was was serviceable he he just kept not giving it up you know Jackson stock had his day yesterday yeah um so yeah I’m probably I’m probably saying they’re both going to the defensive end and uh I will go exactly with that Ashby Dennis for me for wa and uh I’m going to I know it’s parochial and I didn’t do it but I think Cody Watts for South Australia yeah look at the amount of people flooding the field too look at all the kids out there great to see so many young kids down here watching uh their Heroes and hoping to be them in a couple of years time it’ll be good to see uh this MVP I think we’ve got the Mike cross over to the MVP presentation so we’ll um have a look from our camera but we’ll be able to hear live from the coaches about what they’ve got to say and I know that um both coaches will be very humble and very kind and very grateful for a fantastic game of Lacrosse and I can also say there’s still another game to come on the Australian across Network there still another game to got more of wa not going to sleep tonight both of the men’s and women’s or a Victoria Victoria going to uh be victorious just make the party a little sour yeah look ah and I they lost last time wa lost a Victorian the round robin game by go by goal um wa beat South Australia yesterday Ash har and gold go sorry I’m going to shut my mouth because stop no I’m just thinking uh and it’s Frenchy to speak first speak first boys uh preparation wasn’t great uh but to get into the Grand Final you above expectations and I’m really proud of you guys uh the MVP for wa today was r r goalie
