Round 7 of the Southern Cross Women’s Premier League produced predictable results with the leagues top three teams broadening what is now becoming a gulf between the top and bottom sides.

Friday nights fixture promised to be a competitive game given both Burringbar and Byron had close encounters during the Tursa Pre-Season. To some degree the match lived up to this expectation or at least it did until halftime, as the Bandits kept Byron within reach at only one goal down at the break.

The second half saw Byron step up a gear and aided by the loss of the bandits Heather Thomas with a recurring quad strain the Vixens produced another 5 goals to run out 6 - 1 winners, the bandits solitary strike coming from a nice Laura Cahill strike.

Best for Byron were Amy Baldwin and Jaime Picken with Rose Argent picking up a brace of goals to round out a pleasant evening out, while the pick of the bandits was Sharde Pohato.

League leaders Lennox Sharks again destroyed the opposition in what is becoming a predictable occurrance slamming in eight unanswered goals against a resolute Tumbulgum.

Hatricks to Abigail Allardyce and Chelsea Coleman were the highlight of the night with Martene Wallace also scoring a brace to round out the scoring for Lennox.

Best for Tumbulgum Sandra Zietlow and Kim Gallard who tried their hardest but the Tumbulgum girls really could only do their best to limit the damage.

In the Lismore derbyWorkers FC out fought Richmond Rovers 3 - 0 with Sheree Coubrough picking up a double and proving her form is on the way up and Gypsy Hechtl grabbing the other.

For Workers Coubrough and Nadine Toniello were outstanding while for Rovers the form of Richelle Freys is something to take away from the match.

This game did serve a good purpose as it proved that the teams at the bottom can compete against the top three, but perseverence is going to be the key to creating an upset this year.
