It was a good weekend for UWA Nedlands in Women’s State League Division One as they moved six points clear of their two nearest rivals.
UWA won 4-0 at home to bottom club Gwelup Croatia. They were three up at half-time through goals from Jacqueline Chiastra, Emily Dinsdale and Helene Williams. Monique Saunders added the fourth.
And it got even better for the league leaders with second-place South West Phoenix and Sorrento, in third, playing out a goalless draw in Bunbury. Phoenix do have three games in hand on UWA while Sorrento have one, but this title race looks like it is going down to the wire.
In other games played on Sunday, Amanda Smith scored a hat-trick and Amielia Musulin two in Perth AFC’s 5-0 defeat of Stirling Macedonia, while ECU Joondalup came from behind to down Mandurah City 2-1. Elizabeth Green struck first to give City the lead at the interval, but ECU turn the game round through Molly Elphick and Amy Buchanan.
Women’s Amateur League leaders Fremantle City (Black) took the points with a 3-1 win over sister side Fremantle City (Maroon).
The result maintained their four-point advantage over Curtin University, 3-0 winners against Northern Redbacks. Dorothy Okumu and Rebecca Bell (2) were the Curtin scorers.
Rochelle Richards hit two in Perth AFC’s 6-1 win against Ellenbrook United on Friday, Forrestfield United came from behind to win 3-2 at Balga with Indigo Deakin Buckley netting the winner, while second-half goals from Julia Pytte and Ulani Otaola gave UWA Nedladns a 2-0 victory away to ECU Joondalup.
