Tumbulgum Rangers grabbed early bragging rights in the Southern Cross Credit Union WPL as they disposed of local rivals Burringbar 3 - 1 at Brian Breckenridge field last Friday night.

Rangers had been in poor form leading into this match but that accounted for nothing as the girls showed committment and composure in front of goal to comfortably take the match.

Best for Rangers were Brooke Brehaut and Laura Reynolds both who scored goals with Brehaut picking up a brace while for Burringbar Kelsie Clark tried hard along with Jacqueline Van de Sheur.

Elsewhere Lennox put 9 past Rovers for the second week running consigning the 2006 champions to the bottom of the table. A hat trick for Abigail Allardyce was the feature for the Sharks with a brace also to Martene Wallace.

Best on field were Martene Wallace and Allardyce for Lennox with Jessica Pickford the pick for an outclassed Rovers.

Byron Bay moved into second place with a solid 5 - 0 win over Workers FC.

The Byron Vixens knocked the ball round well keeping the Workers defence under pressure for most of the game and strikers Rose Argent and Chloe Dunsmore well supplied with opportunities.

Dunsmore proved to be the more potent grabbing 4 goals with Cory Johnstone adding the extra.

For Workers Gypsy Hechtl did not stop trying and best for Workers were Dunsmore and Baldwin.

Looking ahead to Round 6 Buuringbar will have to give their best at home against Byron on Friday night, Workers and Rovers will lock horns in a local Lismore derby on Sunday and Lennox will travel to Tumbulgum who may just come crashing back down to earth.
