By Barb Altus. In the closest Preliminary Final in living memory, Kingston won their way into their first Grand Final in the KNT and their first since 2000 with a behind scored after extra time. Mundulla started well when, after minor scores by each team, Mundulla’s Grosser and McGrice forced the ball to Studham who wheeled and goaled two minutes in. After another two behinds by the Saints and determined defence by Gambranis their Captain Tom Rogers directed the ball to Harding who passed to Warner who kicked truly to give Kingston the lead fourteen minutes in. The Tigers levelled the score with two more minor scores before Kuchel and Ballinger drove the ball to Noll who snapped accurately to retake the lead.

By Georgia Gill. Second Semi Final: Saturday 2nd September 2023: Div 1 – Penola 49 d Kingston 41. The two in form sides of the Division One competition delivered the high quality game that everyone thought they would with Penola taking a slight lead at quarter time. Incredibly accurate shooting from Lythgo saw this lead extend to six at half time. Pink was crucial for her side as they continued to fight in the second half, but Penola maintained their composure as they pushed the difference out to nine at three quarter time. Despite Kingston winning the final quarter, it was not enough to stop Penola as they finished winners by eight goals, 49 to 41, booking their spot in the Grand Final.
