The team consisted of Kathleen Kopietz, Sarah Lewis, Lucinda Link, Alysce Maclaren, Kelsie Nabbin, Harriet Rappell, Chloe Simpson, Mikaela Smith, and Emily Van Bergen.
They defeated DYC Moggies 17-10.
The Kingfishers scored a convincing 20-7 win over the Donvale Dazzlers.
Coach Karen May said: “It was a fantastic effort by everyone. I’m very proud of the whole team.”
The team was made up of Shelby Greenlaw, Julia Lewis, Gemma Lindsay-Knape, Kellie May, Hannah Thornton, Bronte Whitcher, Selene Foster-Zuluaga and Kirilee Hosier, with assistant coach Jennie Annand.
