With the Emerging Matildas championship taking place during the week, and over the weekend of Round 14 action, only one match took place in the NPL17 competition as the fixtures between BellaMonaro and Gungahlin United, and Canberra Olympic’s visit to Canberra Croatia were postponed. That match was at Ainslie Oval and Majura FC proved too strong for Tuggeranong United as the home team cruised to an 8-0 victory. The result kept Majura clearly in the hunt for finals football.
