Strong from the start, Junee were up 4-0 by half time, sealing the 7-0 win early in the second against the struggling Strikers. 

Ashleigh Goode delivered three of the goals, but the win was a true team effort with Kara Hancock, Marissa Ward, Phoebe Quinn and Morgan Goode firing off one each. 

With the game pretty much wrapped up, coach Adrian Weir said “they ran out of puff a bit” in the last 30 minutes. 

He said the girls are in a “good position” if they can take out Henwood Park in Wednesday’s round 12 deferred game on home turf, making them finals shoo ins. 

“It was a good result for us, we just need to win on Wednesday,” Weir said. 

It would be an ideal set up for Sunday’s game against ladder leaders, the undefeated Tolland. 

Tolland smashed Leeton in their round 14 game at the MIA Sports Field on Sunday 8-0, lifting their already jaw-dropping goal record of 108 for and just 10 against. 

Weir wasn’t phased by the numbers, and reckons the girls are in with a good chance. 

“I think they’re beatable, we just need to match them in fitness,” he said. 

“It will be hard to go up against a team like that for 90 minutes but that’s just the challenge the girls have to accept.” 

Junee play Tolland at Rawlings Park on Sunday, July 30.
