Home Team v Away Team

Round Two (played October 19 & 20)

Venue : Coffs Harbour International Stadium

Northern NSW Pride
Hunter (Hartley 46), Dunne, Alley, Stevens (Tristram 26), Ingles (Searle 43), Baker (Cotts 60), Amber Neilson, Colthorpe, McMinn, Crawford, Gill
Goal : Rose Dunne 62 1 - 9 Queensland Sting
Nichols, Reuter (Beaumont 68), Grant, Garven, Garriock, Harch (Hohnke 58), McShea, Canham, Dawney, Mann (Duus 78), Mitchell (Thomas 46)
Goals : Kate McShea 45, 53, April Mann 47, Elissia Canham 57, Natalie Thomas 66, Olivia Hohnke 69, Belinda Dawney 71, Heather Garriock 80, 90

Queensland Sting recorded their biggest win ever in the seven-year history of the league, surpassing their previous best of 5-0 over the same opponent in 1999. Their eight second half goals is also a WNSL record for the number of goals scored in a half by one team, and their seven separate goalscorers is also the most for one team in a single game.
No-one could have predicted such a result after Sting went in at the break with a 1-0 lead from what was a competitive, physical, and fairly even first half. Captain Kate McShea opened Sting's account four minutes into stoppage time before the break, forcing her way through after a goalmouth scramble.
It was a fired up Queensland which emerged in the second period and immediately started rolling out the goals. Northern's injury toll perhaps played a part, missing two going into the clash and then losing Lorissa Stevens and Pelay Ingles before halftime.
The Sting were ruthless in attack in the windy conditions, scoring three inside the first twelve minutes after the restart via April Mann, McShea, and Elissia Canham. Pride then pulled the score back to 4-1 with a Rose Dunne chip, but Queensland ran away with another three in the following nine minutes, Natalie Thomas, Olivia Hohnke, and Belinda Dawney the scorers. Heather Garriock finished the job with a double late in the game.

Venue : Truscott Reserve, Bendigo

Victoria Vision
Barbieri, Smith, Lamb, Groenewald (Humble 79), Farrugia, Bisby, Fitzgerald, Terek, Maza, Kuralay, Angelucci (Skvarc 55) 0 - 0 Canberra Eclipse
Marzotto, Swaffer, Taylor, Borucinski, Davies, Thomson, Karp, P Hepperlin, D Hepperlin (Rukavina 46), Munoz (Heath 78), Wilson

Victoria Vision were just as pleased with their 0-0 draw against clear favourites Canberra Eclipse, and despite the lack of goals felt this to be one of their most pleasing performances for some time. A healthy size crowd of 400 at first time hosts Bendigo watched as the action seesawed from one end to the other but with rare clear-cut chances on goal, resulting in the league's first scoreless draw in three years.
In a very evenly fought contest, neither side stood up and claimed control of the play. Canberra's Caitlin Munoz had the best chance of the game, her 20 metre freekick midway through the first half striking the crossbar and the goalkeeper's hand at the same time. Louisa Bisby and Selin Kuralay were busiest in the Vision attack.

Venue : Marden Sports Complex, Adelaide

Adelaide Sensation
Trimboli, May, Katianos, Benoist, Slater (Burgess 74), Madden, Stocco (Balomenos 82), Salisbury, Walsh (Blacker 77), Sabljak (Papageorgiou 57), De Vanna
Goal : Cheryl Salisbury 81 1 - 2 NSW Sapphires
Kell, Tann, Gilbert, Warrener (Collins 85), Kimber (Ledbrook 57), Rockall, Small, Carney, Burgess, Cannuli (Blayney 77), Walsh
Goals : Taryn Rockall 50, Danielle Small 85

Favourites NSW Sapphires were made to tough it out before scoring the late winner in today's WNSL Round Two fixture, a 2-1 victory over Adelaide Sensation in Adelaide.
Adelaide's young side made the livelier start in the opening twenty minutes before NSW gradually settled into the game and grew sharper as the match progressed. However, no one side dominated play overall and much of the game was played out in midfield.
Cheryl Salisbury, Lisa De Vanna, and Cindy Benoist had the best of Sensation's chances in a scoreless first half, whilst Michelle Carney and Sarah Walsh each had a good opportunity for the visitors.
Five minutes into the second interval, the deadlock was broken, NSW Sapphires midfielder Taryn Rockall put through on goal before slotting the ball under the keeper.
With little action on either goal since NSW took the lead, Adelaide defender Chichi May provided a cross from the left with ten minutes remaining. The ball was punched away by the Sapphires keeper, but in the follow through Sensation's Stacey Stocco was knocked unconscious. Salisbury equalised from the resultant penalty.
The leveller snapped NSW back into action and four minutes later, Danielle Small reclaimed the lead and the eventual winner for the Sapphires, poking home a well directed cross.
