Titans defeat Jets to claim State Titles

The Gold Coast Titans are the under 18 state champions, with the young side claiming the trophy in Netball Queensland's Nissan State Titles.

The Titans were undefeated for the tournament, with wins over Bond University and Ipswich Jets securing the title after the Gold Coast side topped the pool rounds.

As top placed in Pool B, the Titans played the second placed Pool A side in the semi-finals which happened to be fellow Gold Coasters Bond University.

The Titans proved too strong in the Clash of the Coast, winning 47 goals to 33.

Ipswich Jets were arguably the form team of the competition and they cruised through to the final after a big win over the Claws.

In the final, the Titans experienced players shone with Goal Attack and Titans Ruby Series squad member Talitah Faifai named player of the match.

Captain Dakota Newson and Bayley d'Hotman de Villiers also had strong games and along with goal shooter Abby Boland, all four (including Faifai) were named post match in the Queensland under-19 side.

Ipswich lead early in the final, taking the quarter time lead but the Titans fought back to take a slender lead at the half.

A strong third quarter set up the match for the Titans, with the club claiming the trophy in their inaugural appearance at the competition.

The Titans were the only club to make the 1-4 playoffs in both age groups, with the under 16s also in action on the final day.

With the best junior talent in the state on show, the Titans performed strongly over the three days of competition, falling to the eventually champions (Tigers) in the semi-finals before an epic third place playoff.

The Titans went into extra time in their third place playoff against the USC Thunder, with the Sunshine Coast side prevailing 37 goals to 35.

Brooke Marchant and Olivia Mallard were both selected in the Queensland 17s team after both having outstanding tournaments for the Titans.
