Jones scored one try and put Amy Copping over for another, all in the first half, to help set up a match-winning 16-0 lead at the break.

Hawks hit back early in the second half when Anna Matthews pounced on a clever little Ella-J Harris grubber kick 10 minutes after oranges but it was too little to late.

A sensational effort in the corner from Sarah Watterson helped St Pat’s sew up the first place in the 2018 grand final, the club’s six appearance in a league tag decider in the seven years Group 10 has run the women’s competition.

St Pat’s has premierships in 2012, 2015 and 2017 to sit alongside grand final appearances in 2014 and 2016.

It’s domination Jones and the St Pat’s girls are seriously proud of and the representative gun says the incredible year-to-year consistency the blue and whites produce comes down to two people.

“Mick and Kara,” Jones said, referencing coach Mick Armstrong and his wife Kara, who is also involved at the club.

“We’ve got a great team culture and it’s really inclusive of everyone, we’ve got a tight-knit team.

“Mick knows what he’s doing, he does this for a job and every year he comes with something fresh to attack.”

Jones’ speed was instrumental in St Pat’s scoring three first half-tries in nine minutes.

The Bathurst girls’ first came after Amy Merritt swivled through the normally precise tagging of the Hawks defenders before Copping went over soon after and then Jones raced in for a great try 10 seconds before the half-time siren.

“I just kind of think about doing my job; make as many metres as I can,” she said.

“I just float and hit as many gaps as I can and try and play of Bronte (Emanuel) and Mish (Somers).

“But I’ve got to give it to Ezzy (Erin Naden). She’s new to our team and she’s phenomenal every week.

“And Amy Merritt had some really great runs today. It was a good day.”

Hawks coach Marty Lyden thought his side was pretty good throughout the opening 15 minutes of the match but some sloppy tagging late in the period meant the minor premiership winning St Pat’s side was able to skip away.

“I thought our first 20 minutes was probably the best defensively we’ve been,” he said.

“They didn’t get in their own half for the first five or six sets. We’ve just got to be better at maintaining that.”

“We’re always a chance and it’s a good bunch of girls here that believe in themselves.”

Hawks will now play Panthers in Sunday’s preliminary final at Wade Park, the winner progressing to Cowra for the grand final on September 9.

“If we play against them like we did today then I think we’ll be right,” Lyden said, Hawks knocking off a 12-4 win over Panthers in their last meeting.

“And I don’t think we played well in that game.”
