The Atlanta Lady Kookaburras took all before them on the weekend and became the inaugural USAFL Nationals Champions in the Women's Division. The Lady Kookas had a tough game early Saturday against Florida Fusion winning by just 4 points then rallied well in the afternoon to defeat the Arizona Lady Hawks by 57 points. With two wins on the board this meant they would go straight to the Grand Final Sunday afternoon with the other two teams battling out to see who was to be the challenger. It was Florida Fusion that made the Grand Final but the Lady Kookas were not going to let this chance slip away. They played an awesome team game of football and when everything was done the Atlanta team were victorious by 29 points. Scores 6.5.41 to 2.0.12. The Lady Kookas celebrated and after four months of practice and preparation thoroughly deserved their win and bring home to Atlanta the clubs first ever National Championship trophy. "The Atlanta Lady Kookaburras should be congratulated not only did they play like a team on the field they did everything possible to work like a team off it as well. This came in the form of placing their teammates first in whatever decisions they made that effected their team. They are a credit to themselves for their team spirit and their willingness to learn and be coached in a totally new sport.
