YERONGA South Brisbane has put an emphatic exclamation point on its season, romping to a 47-point victory over Coolangatta in the QAFLW Grand Final.
The Devils didn't have one outstanding quarter to seal the deal, they just dried up the Bluebirds' scoring while kicking a few goals of their own each term in the 8.8 (56) to 1.3 (9) win.
Playing for Coolangatta, Gold Coast's Paige Parker was her side's only goalkicker, and it was the first major of the match.
Courtney McDonnell and Lexia Edwards kicked two each for Yeronga – who won the flag after finishing fourth – while Sam Virgo and Lauren Arnell also hit the scoreboard.
Regardless of the result, it was an improved season for Coolangatta under coach and former Carlton head of women's footy Nicole Graves, having finished sixth of eight teams last year.
