Fillies mount comeback to secure spot in grand final - Toowoomba Chronicle

TRY TREBLE: Toowoomba's Samartha Leisha. Nev Madsen

TOOWOOMBA will enjoy a much-needed weekend off after posting a comeback 30-28 win over Burpengary in the Brisbane Women's Second Division major semi-final.

The Fillies trailed 22-10 at half-time but dominated the second half to hit the lead in the final 10 minutes to record a two-point win.

Toowoomba coach Arnold Anderson was full of praise for his squad.

"We just dug deep in the second half," Anderson said. "It was the best game I've seen them play. Their defence won it for us.

"To go down there and come from behind, it was an eye-opener. The girls were really good."

The Fillies now have this weekend off as they prepare to chase the second leg of the minor premiership-grand final double in just their first season in the competition.

Toowoomba will play the winner of this weekend's preliminary final between Burpengary and Waterford.
