THERE was just a single goal in the women's first grade grand final between Mittagong and Robertson on Saturday.

Chelsea Lenarduzzi scored for Mittagong just after the break and it was enough for the Lions to claim the 2014 premiership.

Robertson put plenty of pressure on Mittagong late in the game as it sought to equalise and send the match into extra time.

It even took goalkeeper Erin Gray off to put another attacker on and Mittagong quickly covered with an extra defender.

Mittagong coach Yolande Isedale said it was an extremely stressful finish to the match.

"It was a very tight game. I felt like we had a chance to win, we've got a good team," she said.

"We'd been playing well right throughout the semis, so I felt if we played well (on Saturday) we'd definitely be a chance to win."

Isedale said Mittagong played well across the park but missed a few opportunities.

"We just had to keep marking their strikers because the danger for us was if Robertson made a quick break they could score pretty much from anywhere. Our attack was going great guns and we were making lots of opportunities, but we didn't put that many in. We had a few short corners in the first half, but had trouble controlling at the top of the circle."

Isedale said after a couple of years of Robertson winning the premiership, there were just four Mittagong players left from the last time the Lions lifted the trophy.

"We're a very young team. I think your senior players always play well but when your younger ones step up, it can take a team to a new level and that's what happened."
