Anna Soulsby and Natalie Tathem found the goals in a crucial 2-0 victory over Sunshine Coast Wanderers
An intense clash as we look to keep our title hopes alive. Amy Gunston created an early chance, rounding the keeper before seeing her effort cleared off the line.
Lauren Costello made a great tackle to prevent a dangerous shot inside the box, and Anna Soulsby on the stroke of half-time forced the ball over the line!
