What a great finish to the year as the Magpies took part in three Grand Finals and took home the silverware in all of them! This breaks the Premiership drought dating back to 2018 when our QAFL Colts saluted on the big stage.

What made it even more memorable were the stories associated with each game. First up, the Woodsmen took home the QFA Premiership on the Friday night, with club legend Chris Mihalopoulos having a fitting finish to his career winning his 5th Premiership at Sherwood in Senior football in his 400th game, but also taking home the Best on Ground Medal in the process to have a true fairy tale finish.

Next up, history was to be made as our U13 Girls took the field against Wests searching for the first ever Premiership won by a female Sherwood team. In a nail biting encounter under the hot winter sun, Sherwood prevailed by 6 points to make history for the club, with Annabel Peacock capping a great season with a Best on Ground performance.

Not to be outdone, our Senior Women packed their bags for Bond University on Father's Day to take on the undefeated Jindalee Jags for a chance to win our first ever Senior Women's Premiership (having finished runner up 4 times!). Cheered on by an adoring and loyal crowd, including the vocal u13 Girls proudly wearing their medals - the Sherwood Women put on a clinical display, banging home 6 goals in the 2nd quarter to put the game to bed. This was an exercise in preparation, teamwork, focus and an unwavering attention to detail from the players and coaching staff. Leading at every change, they ran out comfortable 32 point winners with Kate Lencz awarded best on ground honours in a blistering display through the midfield and up forward.

In total, Sherwood had 6 teams competing in the finals with the above 3 progressing to the Grand Final. Our u12 Div 1 and U14 Div 1 teams accounted for themselves well in their Preliminary Finals only to fall short, while the incredible group of mixed boys and girls from u10s, u11s and u12s that made up our u12 Division 4 outfit finished the year as they started, with big smiles and having a great time in what was the first final for many of them! Special mention must also go to our QAFL Senior Mens team and u14 Division 4 team who were ruled out of finals by COVID, with both teams a legitimate contender had their been no lockdown interventions.
