SCRAPING through by a hair’s breadth to take out Saturday’s qualifying finals, Woorinen will go on to meet competition rivals Swan Hill in the second semi-final this week.
In what was a crushing defeat for Tooleybuc Manangatang, Woorinen was behind by just a few goals at quarter time. Coach Naomi Lewis scrambled to rearrange her players in the break to reverse the Saints’ advantage.
By half-time, the Tigers, who have dominated most of the season, where ahead by a meagre three goals and struggling to blaze a trail.
It was a hotly contested game and no one was giving up without a fight.
