Lennox hat trick trio steamroll Burringbar
Lennox Head trio of Abigail Allardyce, Amanda Brett and Sophie Towner created a piece of history with a hat trick each as the Sharks recovered from last weeks stumble with an emphatic 10 - 1 drubbing of Burringbar in round 8 of the Southern Cross Credit Union Women’s Premier League.
The result continues a tale of woe for the Bandits who have been hit with injuries and consistently fail to get a full squad together each week. Coach Ralf Van de Scheur must at this stage be pulling what’s left of his hair out as he desperately tries to turn things around.
The shining light was the tremendous performance of goal keeper Jessica Raso who did her best to stem the Lennox tide but the Sharks were in scintillating form and their was little Raso could do.
Again the top three sides controlled the tempo of the league with second placed Byron Bay downing a spirited Richmond Rovers 4 - 1.
Byron can certainly count themselves fortunate as the end result did not truly reflect the balance of the match. Rovers came out with plenty of intensity typified by the outstanding performances of Fallon Campbell and Cindy MacKenzie.
A fine goal to Hayley Muller certainly gave Rovers plenty of hope that they could squeeze out a result but fine finishing from the Vixens quartet of Johnstone, Argent, Dunsmore and Siewert proved to big a hill to climb.
Plenty of positives though for Rovers to tale away from this game.
Lismore Workers stayed in touch with the leaders with a solid 4 - 0 win over Tumbulgum Rangers.
Rangers were unlucky in this one as an own goal certainly didn’t help their cause. Goals to Sheree Coubrough, Jess Davidson and Shani Lauf rounded out a reasonable Workers performance.
With the long weekend to rest up, interest for the girls should turn to the Matilda’s outing in Coffs Harbour on Sunday afternoon as they take on Asia’s highest ranked women’s team DPR (North) Korea in an Olympic qualifier from 3.00pm.
