Latrobe Demons claim first finals win in six years after remarkable turnaround

The Latrobe Demons defeated Devonport 33 to 20 in an elimination final on Sunday, their first finals victory since 2020.

Latrobe NWFL Women's team won their first finals match in six years, beating Devonport 33-20 on Sunday at Wynyard. A year ago the Demons had no wins at all.

Coach Emma Pittman said she started last November with just seven players and described the turnaround as unbelievable. Captain Ellie Poke was named best-on-ground for handling the pressure when it mattered.

Latrobe now face Wynyard in a semi-final to continue their unlikely finals run.

Why it mattersThe Demons' rapid rise from no wins to finals success shows women's regional football gaining strength and attracting quality players.
