MEATH’S VIKKI WALL scored a goal in either half as North Melbourne beat Brisbane in Saturday’s Grand Final to complete an unbeaten season and clinch a first-ever AFLW title.

Thirteen points from Wall (two goals and a behind) helped the Roos to an ultimately comfortable 39-9 win in front of more than 12,000 spectators at a sold-out Ikon Park in Melbourne.

Cork’s Erika O’Shea also celebrated her first AFLW medal alongside Wall, while Fermanagh’s Bláithín Bogue and Tipperary’s Niamh Martin were not involved in the Roos’ matchday squad.

But there was disappointment for Dublin’s Jennifer Dunne and Tipp’s Orla O’Dwyer as Brisbane came up short in their bid for back-to-back titles.

North Melbourne were 18-7 up in the second quarter when Wall took a mark to kick the first of her goals, stretching the Roos’ advantage to 17 points.

And Wall’s second, with less than a quarter of an hour to play, pushed that lead out to 23 and allowed Darren Crocker’s side to start dreaming of their first title at the seventh time of asking.
