Champions! Canberra United
Canberra United was crowned Westfield W-League Grand Final with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Brisbane Roar in an action packed finale at McKellar Stadium with Golden Boot Michelle Heyman scoring twice. The final was everything that the supporters had hoped it would be, stirring from start to finish, with plenty of twists and turns, plots and sub-plots and some fantastic goals.

Roar through on penalties
Brisbane Roar will meet Canberra United in the Westfield W-League grand final after eliminating Sydney FC in a sensational penalty-shootout win at Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre on Sunday afternoon.
The Roar had been out of the contest until star bench weapon Emily Gielnik scored a stunner in the final minute of injury time, sending the game into a thrilling extra-time period, followed by a 4-3 triumph from the penalty spot.

Heyman sends through Canberra
A goal from leading scorer Michelle Heyman was enough to decide the first Westfield W-League Semi-Final in favour of Canberra United as they defeated a stubborn Melbourne Victory in front of 1785 at McKellar Park in Canberra.

Victory fire into finals
Melbourne Victory will enter the Westfield W-League finals campaign on a high after torching Adelaide United 4-1 at windswept Burton Park.
After the Reds got on the board first through Marijana Rajcic, Melbourne replied with three first-half goals inside the space of 14 minutes - the last two seemingly unintentional, aided by a stiff north-westerly breeze - and a fourth in the dying seconds of the contest courtesy of Kendall Fletcher to transform a potential upset into a rout.

Perth finish on a high
Newcastle Jets' Westfield W-League finals hopes came to an end with a shock 4-2 loss to Perth Glory at 6PR Stadium.
Going into the final round, the Jets needed to beat Perth and hope Adelaide United could complete an upset by taking the three points against Melbourne Victory, but goals to Katarina Jukic, Carys Hawkins, Elisa D'Ovidio and Marianna Tabain ensured Newcastle couldn't complete their end of the bargain.
Roar secure second
Brisbane have secured a Westfield W-League home semi-final with a closely-contested 1-0 own-goal victory over Sydney at Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre.
With the Sky Blues requiring a victory to leapfr og the Roar and take hosting rights for next week's semi between the two, the rivals went chance for chance through an exciting 90 minutes, and could only be separated by Terasa Polias' deflection into her own net in the 32nd minute.
Sydney seal finals berth
Sydney FC have guaranteed their place in the Westfield W-League finals with a comfortable 3-0 win over Perth Glory at 6PR Stadium on Saturday.
