South West Phoenix wrapped up their unbeaten title-winning season with a 2-0 win over UWA Nedlands, a result which denied their opponents second place in the Women’s State League.

Phoenix, who lifted the trophy for the second successive year after the game, were ahead on five minutes thanks to Carrie Caffrey’s penalty.

With Sorrento’s season completed, UWA needed only a draw to finish runners-up. However, it was Phoenix who got the crucial second when Lara Graham struck just after the hour.

ECU Joondalup were already assured of fourth spot but they were unable to finish the season on a high, going down 2-0 to Perth AFC. Amanda Smith scored both goals in the first half.

Armadale and Gwelup drew 1-1 at Alfred Skeet Reserve. Coreena Whyte scored the opener for Armadale, with Gabriella Saraceni equalising after half-time.
