Cardinia Storm’s seniors are out of the finals now after two narrow losses ended their grand final dreams.
The Men’s Metro 1 South side went down against Monash University in a 5-4 thriller, which was decided by a penalty shootout.
There were some close matches between the two sides throughout the season, and this was another one of those, with both sides bringing their best.
While Storm came away with a one-goal loss, Taylor Rae was a shining light for the side, scoring two goals.
Other scorers in the elimination final were Kieran McLellan and Ayush Wahi with one each.
Storm gave it their all in the Women’s Metro 1 South final against Mornington Peninsula, but fell short by the barest of margins, 2-1.
The teams were 1-1 head-to-head coming into this elimination final and a tough match was expected.
Despite a brilliant goal from Annabelle Fallu, it wasn’t enough as they ultimately went down by one goal.
Cardinia will come back next season with the hunger and drive to make finals again and push further.
