Hot conditions proved a recurring theme for all teams in round one, however, Wallsend made the most of their chances winning 6-nil to Thornton Redbacks.
It was a big day for Wallsend Club Captain Sophie Phillips, which saw her celebrate 100 senior games for the club.
Head coach for Wallsend, Brad Jones, said he was proud of his squads’ efforts in yesterday’s trying conditions.
“It was pretty hot and tiring conditions. Whilst we’re not the finished product yet, the girls played really well and I was really happy with them,” Jones said.
“I actually think it was a really good team performance. There wasn’t really one player that stood out, they actually gelled and played some good football at times.
“It was just a solid team performance.”
Despite the disappointing scoreline, Thornton head coach Alan Primmer says he was happy with his side’s performance and said they know what they need to improve on to build in the coming weeks.
“They [Wallsend] were definitely the better team but as I said to my girls, I was very happy at halftime. A very well taken free-kick for their [Wallsend] first one and a penalty… that was it 2-nil. But we were in the game and we played some good footy and the girls were happy at halftime,” Primmer said.
“Kirstie Power-Walford who was only 16, Jasmyn Hughes who was only 16 and Lauren Faulkner who’s only 17, they all kick-off in our 14’s four years ago and now they’re playing first grade, so that’s basically a representation of our club.
“They all played really, really well. Probably a special mention to Anais Moore the captain.
“I thought she really stood-up in the second half and things really could have gotten uglier, but she let the Wallsend girls know we weren’t going to layover and I think the girls really lifted with that.”

Wallsend FC 1 (Sam Bradshaw) def. by New Lambton 3 (Alex Ihlow, Riley Taylor, Josh Williams)
Sunday 27th May, 2:30 pm, The Gardens
After starting their season in spectacular fashion and being undefeated after the first seven rounds, Wallsend now sits in eighth place following their third straight loss, this time coming to the hands of last-place New Lambton who grabbed their second victory under new coach Jim Foley.
Wallsend was quick to fire early through their towering forward Sam Bradshaw, but despite going down early, the Eagles stuck to their guns and continued to work their way back into the contest.
New Lambton soon began to show some dominance over the match, and shockingly went into the halftime break with the lead after scoring two goals through Josh Williams and Riley Taylor.
The Red Devils pressed to try and find an equaliser, but in their attempt to push forward, Alex Ihlow was able to grab one against the run of play to double his team’s lead and secure just their second victory of the season.
With that win, the Eagles once again move up from the bottom of the table and Foley admitted that he felt his players were deserving of it after the amount of effort they’ve put in since his arrival.
“It’s still early days in our rebuilding process but today’s three points is a source of great encouragement,” Foley said.
“It’s a great reward for the attitude and application of all the players in the club.”

Match of the Round
Warners Bay 7 (Jenna Kingsley 4, Cass Davis 2, Sophie Stapleford 1) defeated Wallsend 1 (Libby Copus-Brown) at John Street Oval on Sunday.
Half-time: Warners Bay led 3-0.
Player-coach Cassidy Davis credited “being clinical in front of goal” for putting Wallsend to the sword and moving five points clear at the top of the ladder.
The hosts drew first blood when Jenna Kingsley scored twice to give the Bay an early lead.
This time, Kingsley turned provider, putting through a pass to Davis who slotted it into the bottom right corner.
Warners Bay struck early in the second half through Sophie Stapleford but a Libby Copus-Brown free kick put Wallsend back in the game.
The hosts sealed the deal with Kingsley finishing her four-goal haul and Davis grabbing her second in the dying stages of the game.
Davis thought her sides solid defence played a big part in their seven-goal blitz.
“We are glad to get the three points and I’m proud of the girl’s effort,” Davis said.
“Wallsend battled and fought hard which we spoke about at half-time and definitely improved in the second half.
“Credit to all of the girls today as we worked hard as a team to secure important points.”
Wallsend coach Marc Hingston said it was “a good game” and “we competed all day”.

Wallsend FC (7th) vs. New Lambton FC (11th)
Sunday 27th May, 2:30 pm, The Gardens
After starting the season six games undefeated, Wallsend has now lost their last three and have tumbled out of the top four and into seventh.
New Lambton on the other hand, sit on the bottom of the table once again. However, since the induction of new coach Jim Foley, the Eagles have started to show some signs of the potential that their young team acquires, having only lost once in their past five games.
For New Lambton to win though, they’ll need to shut down Wallsend’s threatening attack, just as their last few oppositions have done.
In the first six weeks of the competition, Wallsend was averaging just under three goals a game, but in their past three losses, have averaged less than one goal.
When these two teams faced off last season, both sides collected a home victory so look for this game to yet again be another close one.
