The Whitsunday Premier Women’s side put on another dominating performance with a 9-1 win over City Brothers in front of a home crowd.
The midfield once again directed the play with Lena and Laura instrumental in the centre, and Eva and Akema creating numerous chances through their runs down the sides.
In the forwards, Willow and Steph were a constant worry for the City defence with their attacking runs and shots.
Goal scorers were Willow with a hat-trick, two to Lena and one each to Eva, Bre, Steph and Akema.
The Premier Reserves came out strong against Brothers, however a defensive error saw the visitors score the first goal.
Shortly afterwards, a corner kick from Dani was finished with a beautiful header from Steph to equalise the score.
A penalty taken by Robyn in the second half gave us a 2-1 lead but relentless pressure from Brothers saw them score another goal in the 80th minute the final score being a draw 2-2.
The ladies would like to thank all of the supporters who came down last night to cheer them on.
Happy female football week!
The Div1 Men also put on a spectacular win in front of a boisterous home crowd.
The home side started well, controlling the majority of the game, and hit the front at the 30-minute mark with a brilliant first-time finish by Riley O'Grady.
A defensive error early in the second half allowed Magpies back in the game but it was one way traffic as their lack of substitutes told.
Two goals followed from Ian Wilson and Aaron Morgan before a quick-fire hat trick from Tate Butler sealed a comfortable 6-1 win.
The youth sides struggled against Lions.
The U13 Prems put up a good fight against their unbeaten opponents, however, after a close first half, Lions ran away with the game 8-0.
U15 Div1 were unlucky after another brave and solid performance.
The U15 Prems also went down to Lions after a tough game.
The home team continued to battle but eventually went down 3 goals to 1 in a much-improved performance in front of their home fans.
