The Girlannas struggled to handle Manildra half-back Molly Hoswell in the early stages of this match but they did well to hold the premiership favourites to a 12 nil lead at half-time.
In the second half the Girlannas made a number of handling errors and this gave the Rhinos good field position and they took full advantage by running out 36-6 winners. A highlight for the Girlannas in the second half was a long distance try to Ella McCrae after a break by Player’s Player Chelsea Harveyson. Best for Grenfell were Ella, Chelsea, Zoe Gavin, and Emily Brenner.
