Junee has recovered from a shocking 8-0 loss to competition leaders Henwood Park to beat second-placed Tolland on Sunday.

Junee forged a three-goal lead in the first half to defeat Tolland 4-2 at the Showgrounds.

Availability of grounds in Junee has worked in the Jaguars’ favour. The Jaguars have trained consistently through the period of wet weather in contrast to the Wolverines, who have not trained consistently for a month.

Tolland dug deep and had the lion’s share of possession the second half.

Tolland skipper Lauren Rouse-Upjohn led the way, scoring the team’s first goal, a cracker just above the keeper’s head, and Christina Grauer-Kompos followed suit with a goal.

But Junee’s Kara Hancock replied with Junee’s fourth goal and proved that last year’s grand finalists weren’t going to relent.

Tolland goalkeeper Annette Parkinson stood out in her 300^th senior Football Wagga match, making some impressive top-corner saves.

It was Tolland’s second loss of the season, coming a fortnight after a humbling 8-1 loss to Henwood Park.

Tolland plays fourth-placed South Wagga at Rawlings Park on Sunday. South Wagga comes off a 6-2 victory over Lake Albert.

Junee will play fifth-placed Wagga United at Rawlings Park on Sunday. Wagga United comes off a crushing 12-2 loss to Henwood Park on Sunday.
