Lennox Head have secured the Southern Cross Credit Union Women’s Premier League title with two rounds to spare after again disposing of Burringbar 4 - 0. The win puts the Sharks 11 points clear of nearest rivals Byron Bay who over the last month have struggled for form.

The Byron Vixens secured the three points to maintain 2nd spot with an unconvicing 2- 1 win over the fast improving Richmond Rovers, while third placed Workers FC appear to be in cruise mode going down to Tumbulgum 2 - 1 on Friday before responding with a 6- 0 hiding on Sunday in a double header against the northern side.

The real battle left in the WPL is the race for fourth and fifth with only two points separating Burringbar in 4th and Tumbulgum in 6th. Burringbar and Rovers have reasonably tough runs home meeting each other this Sunday in what should most certainly be the decider. They will follow that up with games against Byron and Workers, and Workers and Tumbulgum respectively.

For last placed Tumbulgum only a major upset of league leaders Lennox Head and Byron will give them any hope of securing a semi final berth.
