The team was on the wrong end of a 2-1 extra time score in Sunday’s grand final against CSU at Proctor Park in a wet and slow match.
AFC were still able to claim the minor premiership in their first year in the competition and came incredibly close to the major prize.
They got on the board first through a Kirstyn Schumacher header, via a well-directed Katie Long corner inside the final 10 minutes.
CSU were able to respond instantly and found the crucial extra-time goal to take their third successive title.

“To be able to get the minor premiership and push the team going for three in a row is amazing.”
