A Probables v Possibles match was held after the semi-finals and the state 13-19 teams were announced following the grand finals.
It was the second leg of a terrific hat-trick for Amelie and Abbie who also won gold medals with Sunshine Coast at the state schools’ titles.
They won the girls’ title in a dramatic penalty shootout with Met East. Met North was third and were then named in the championship’s Top 14 Merit team.
Team-mates Tiana Doyle and Mia Doyle, who both go to Grace Lutheran College, also collected gold medals at the state championships.
