Missed the Women’s National Premier League Round 5? Here’s your wrap-up!

IN A NUTSHELL

Five goals from Reilly Yuen helped Belconnen United to a comfortable win over Tuggeranong United at Greenway Enclosed, a last-minute winner from Olivia Buyteweg saw Gungahlin United recorded a first-ever NPLW win over Canberra Croatia, and Canberra Olympic eased to an away win over ANU WFC as the pace hots up at the top of the pile.

GOAL OF THE WEEK

Unstoppable. They may have lost the game, but the Goal of the Week goes to Canberra Croatia forward Brittany Palombi who, in trademark style, took aim with that left foot and crunched a thumping shot into the back of the net from range.

PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK

An easy one this week. Reilly Yuen highlighted her boundless talent as a natural goalscorer by netting all five in her teams 5-0 defeat of Tuggeranong United at Greenway Enclosed. A nap-hand, seven for the season in the NPL, and a reminder to all that Yuen has the pace, power, and finishing to trouble any defences.

TEAM OF THE WEEK

COMING SOON

A massive match for Round 6 as Belconnen United welcome Canberra Olympic for a summit meeting, Canberra Croatia will look to bounce back from defeat and try and kick-start their NPL season with a home match against ANU WFC, and both West Canberra Wanderers and Tuggeranong United will feel this could be their week when they lock horns.
