Queensland and South Australia finished the other victors on the morning, with Queensland rounding out the top three.
Coach KerrodGray said he was thrilled and put the performance down to having a very cohesive group of girls in the team.

“We did a lot of hard work around the greens which really helped us in the tough stages of the tournament.”
