Missed the Women’s National Premier League Round 1? Here’s your wrap-up!

IN A NUTSHELL

The big three all began their league season with victories as League champions Canberra Olympic saw off Gungahlin United 2-1 at Hawker Football Centre, Canberra Croatia eased past Tuggeranong United 3-0 at Greenway Enclosed with a brace of goals from Golden Boot winner Brittany Palombi, and Belconnen United began the season with a 3-0 success away at West Canberra Wanderers on Thursday evening.

GOAL OF THE WEEK

 PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK

Not often does a player in a defeated side take out Performance of the Week, but Amy Wiggan of West Canberra Wanderers can stand tall in this area. The Wanderers custodian was magnificent in her team’s opening round loss which, but for some superb saves, could have been much heavier than the final scoreline indicated.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
