Gold Coast Dolphins women 2019 triumph

THE Dolphins’ women put five failed grand final attempts behind them in January to claim their first piece of Katherine Raymont Shield silverware last year.

Their victory over Valleys in the Twenty20 decider was followed by an appearance in the one-day final in March, where they dominated proceedings against Wests before rain intervened.

They then fell to the Bulldogs by 20 runs in the replay a week later but were without a doubt, the best side of the 2018-19 summer.
