Bacchus Marsh fell just short of a grand final appearance in the Ballarat Football League women’s competition.
Hoping to make the grand final for the first time, the Cobras had to get through Redan in the preliminary final on Sunday.
The Lions lost their first game of the season in the first week of finals, were on a mission.
They led five goals to one at quarter time and extended the margin to 29 points at half time.
It was all the Lions in the second half as they ran away with a 13.13 (91)-3.1 (19) win.
The Cobras had no multiple goalkickers.
Jamie-Lee Speakman, Jacinta Reid and Erin Keenan were named their best.
The Lions will now face Darley in the grand final.
It will be a third straight year the two teams have faced off in the decider, with both sides having claimed a premiership each.
The Devils, who had the week off, will be going for back-to-back premierships.
Meanwhile, Darley’s Lilli Condon claimed the BFLW best and fairest award on Friday night.
She goes one better after finishing second last year. Bacchus Marsh’s Jacinta Reid finished in second.
Condron was one of six Devils named in the team of the year.
Emmeron Hitch, Sarah Tabone, Kim Bessell, Jaye Dalgleish and Madalyn Clarke were the others. Bessell also won the leading goalkicker award.
Reid, Speakman and Amy Garofalo were the three Cobras named in the team of the year.
