Brisbane SHS during the line-up.

Fleer arrived on the scene like a 100m sprinter bursting out of the blocks, stretching her right foot forward as the ball arrived near the right hand corner.

It broke a deadlock after Cairns had had the better of the second half, probing forward but being denied by BSHS’s defenders.

Both team’s traded goals midway through the first half, with Cairns SHS first onto the score sheet when Taryn Knight threaded home a wonderful goal approaching the penalty box area.

But the BSHS response was swift, with Grace Fleer, scoring.

Brisbane SHS players prepare for the match.

Resplendent in her green boots, Fleer broke free and hammered home a goal with a sweet right strike of her boot.

It was 1-all at halftime, but BSHS could have led if not for the fantastic urgency and defence from left back Alana Hill.

REPLAY: Chancellor SC v Helensvale SHS 4-1 (Girls Semi-Final)

Chancellor College have booked themselves a spot in tomorrow’s grand final after a convincing 4-1 against Helensvale State High School.

It was a tough battle from the moment the whistle blew with both teams proving strong on the ball.

Helensvale’s Olivia Drien put the Gold Coast team on the scoreboard with a crafty goal.

But their defensive efforts meant Chancellor struggled to get a shot off.

When they finally did Helensvale keeper Shakira Tranquille made an impressive save keeping a ball bound for the top corner of the net out and the goal, reminding her side their hopes were not dashed yet.

Drien showed off some spectacular footwork, making a dash down the sideline – but the brilliant cross was not converted into a goal.

Chancellor’s persistence paid off with Sky Angoniolli slotting one past the keeper to put them ahead 4-1.

Coach Jeremy Stewart said it was great to get the win.

“We have a lot of older girls on the team and they really stepped up and led the team today,” Stewart said.

Chancellor will play Brisbane State High School in the final at 1pm tomorrow.
