Redcliffe Hockey Club will contest its first Brisbane Premier League 1 women's grand final in club history this weekend.
They play Easts in the grand final at the State Hockey Centre in Colmslie on Saturday, September 7 at 3pm.
The final will be played four weeks after the passing of Redcliffe Hockey Club President and women's Premier League 3 coach, Cameron Howes.
Redcliffe finished in second position on the ladder with 33 competition points - Easts finished third on 31 points.
Impressive season
In the semi-finals Redcliffe defeated Easts 4-0 then toppled minor premiers Commercial 3-2.
Redcliffe enters the grand final on the back of an eight-game undefeated run.
The team's last loss was against Easts in June.
Two of Redcliffe's three losses this season have been against Easts.
Redcliffe re-entered Premier League 1 in 2018, having dropped out of the top grade at the end of the 2012 season, and qualified for the semi-finals last season.
The team is coached by Steven Lancaster, a long-time coach of the team.
He coached the side when it was in Division 2 and then into Division 1.
The Redcliffe team includes former Australian Hockeyroos representative Hannah Cullum-Sanders, and goalkeeper Jordan Bliss, a member of Hockey One national league champions Brisbane Blaze.
