Cold, wet conditions at Tyrendarra made for a low-scoring thriller, with Warrnambool prevailing 1.2 (8) to 0.5 (5). Warrnambool managed to kick a goal in the first term, and it proved to be the difference between the sides, despite Horsham dominating for the much of the match and finishing with more scoring shots.
Jedah Huf, Paige Glover and Ailish Heard were Horsham's best performers, almost willing their side across the line, with excellent contributions from Ashlee Ison, Greta Arnel and Olivia Brilliant.
The Demons' senior women's team already earned a spot in the grand final with a qualifying final win over Hamilton, and will face Hamilton again on Sunday, July 24 after Hamilton defeated Warrnambool in the preliminary final.
Horsham previously defeated the Kangaroos in a qualifying final and will hope to recreate that performance.
