Sorrento kept pace with the leaders, winning 3-1 at Perth AFC with the goals coming from Kaley Cornell, Jodie Brough and an Elise Cleminson own goal.

Third-place UWA Nedlands were awarded a 3-0 forfeit win over Gwelup Croatia, while ECU Joondalup are now in fourth after they beat Stirling Macedonia 2-0. Aimee Coghlan and Tinette Van Niekerk got the goals.

Results and table

In the Women’s Amateur League, Curtin University are the new frontrunners after Sharon Loader and Rhianna Burgess gave them a 2-0 win over Hamersley Rovers.

That result, and Fremantle City (Black) suffering their first loss of the season, means Curtin sit a point clear of the field. Indigo Deakin Buckley and Gabriella Seerden were the scorers for Forrestfield United as they upset City 2-0 at Wauhop Park.

Star performance came from Julia Pytte, who scored six in UWA Nedlands’ 9-0 win at Balga.

Other winners were Ellenbrook United and Northern Redbacks.

Emily Kriskovich hit two as Ellenbrook won 5-1 at ECU Joondalup, while Redbacks ran out 5-2 victors away to Perth AFC. An early double from Linda Carnessali put Perth in charge, but Redbacks were in front by half-time through goals from goals from Megan Sherwen-Slater, Ciara Buckingham and Sienna Stepien. In the second half Redbacks pulled away, Opal Mohammad Zainurrafiq and Sara Kifayatullah making the points safe.
