Byron Bay Vixens finished a busy weekend in the Southern Cross Credit Union Women’s Premier League on a huge high taking maximum points from their two matches and moving up to equal first.

Friday night proved to be another goal feast for the Vixens as they ran in 8 unanswered goals against Tumbulgum Rangers. A four goal haul to midfielder Rose Argent and a brace to Cory Johnstone were the highlights as was the goal keeping display of Rangers Laura Reynolds who gave her all trying to stem the tide.

The tireless running and distribution of Byron’s pint sized Christy Hopley was the major difference between the two sides as was the finishing of Argent and Johnstone.

Backing up again on Sunday, Byron had a more difficult task against an improving Workers FC who had managed to take a point off runaway leaders Lennox Head in their Friday night encounter following a 0-0 draw.

Hopley was again the difference between the two teams popping up to score the winner againts the tiring Workers girls. Best for Workers was Jess Davidson, while Hopley and Sophie Butler were strong for Byron.

Workers Friday night match up with Lennox proved to be one of the games of the season with both sides pushing to get a result.

Open attacking football entertained the small crowd on hand but neither side could find the breakthrough to take the 3 points on offer. Best for Lennox were Amanda Brett and Martene Wallace while Gypsy Hechtl of Workers had an outstanding game.

In the other WPL fixture Richmond Rovers consigned Burringbar to the bottom of the league with an excellent 3-1 win.

Goals to Tamika Morrissey, Rosanne Bartlett and Richelle Freys set Rovers on the path to their first win of the season proving that last weekends improved form was not a one off.

For an under strength and undermanned Burringbar, coach Ralf Van de Scheur will be pleased with the efforts of Kelsie Clark and Morgan Lowe, with Clark scoring the solitary goal for the Bandits.

The mixture of Friday and Sunday games appears to be taking it’s toll on the Burringbar side who need to get their season back on track in a hurry.
