Casey’s 2-1 win over Brunswick has effectively locked in finals for 2024 in the Vic League 1 women’s competition.

Sam Wagg scored a double in a powerful performance at Berwick Secondary College.

The Cannons are now two games clear of seventh and eighth on the table with four rounds to go in the season.

Casey has each of the bottom-three placed sides in the next three rounds before facing top-placed Toorak East Malvern which will be an excellent litmus test ahead of a cutthroat finals series.

Meanwhile, Tristan Chaffey scored a double in the men’s 2-0 victory over Melbourne High School Old Boys which keeps the Cannons in third spot, equal with fourth placed Baydside and just a point behind second-placed Craigieburn.
