Women’s Premier Programme Round 11 Lotto NRFL 2015 Welcome With no men’s matches taking place on Saturday due to the FIFA U-20 World Cup final, it’s the turn of the women to take centre stage in the Lotto NRFL this weekend. Fittingly, there are a number of matches in store which deserve the spotlight as the race for the title starts to heat up. Leaders Claudelands Rovers are in pole position and, with Helen Collins firing on all cylinders, are likely to be the side the other contenders must force their way in front of. At this stage, it’s a genuine four-horse race as defending champions Forrest Hill-Milford and Western Springs snap at the heels of Claudelands while Glenfield Rovers are just a CONTENTS few points further back. The clash between Glenfield and Western Springs at McFetridge Park is therefore of huge importance while there is also a vital encounter at the bottom with Norwest United hosting Fencibles United. Lotto NRFL 2015 3 In the programme this week, we preview all five Women’s Premier games in Round 11, as well as featuring photos from Phototek of two recent matches. In focus were Forrest Hill’s 3-2 success over Three Kings United and Western Springs’ 4-0 triumph against Lynn-Avon United.

Coach Andrew Clay 17 Sierra Palladino Coach Chris Acott 31 Sharnia Blanchard 18 Kate Storer Coach Andrew Kirk Glenfield Rovers vs Western Springs McFetridge Park | Sunday 21 June | Kick-off: 1pm | Referee: James Ashford Assistant Referees: Chris Casey, Charlie Tseng vs This is the tie of the round and a win for either side would be a massive boost to their chances of pushing for the title as the business end of the season approaches. As the worst-placed of the title contenders, Glenfield are in greatest need of the points and, having lost three times already, another defeat could put an end to their hopes. After posting a couple of early losses, the new-look Springs squad has really hit its straps in recent weeks, earning five wins in a row. Things are going well at both ends of the park with 21 goals scored in those matches and just one conceded. 4 | Programme 2015 | 5 50 Years of Local Pride Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier Squad Lists Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier Golden Boot Three Kings United Western Springs AFC PLAYER CLUB GOALS 1 Rebecca Rolls 1 Ashleigh McNaughton 2 Shivanthi Anthony 2 Kirstyn Oldfield Katie Rood Glenfield Rovers 19 3 Hannah Wall 3 Annabelle Webster 4 Sophie Stewart-Hobbs 4 Chelsey Wood Helen Collins Claudelands Rovers 15 5 Nadia Pearl 5 Lily-Rose Dyer 6 Kristy Hill 6 Jess Verdon Tayla O'Brien Forrest Hill-Milford 13 7 Isabella Richards 7 Jolene Muir 8 Jessie Mathews 8 Melanie Gooch 9 Martine Puketapu 9 Flora McLeod Aimee Phillips Forrest Hill-Milford 12 10 Hanna English 10 Rebecca O’Neill 11 Hannah Robert 11 Becky Hawker Rebecca Tegg Western Springs 10 12 Rachel Porteous 12 Emily Stotter 14 Tessa Leong 13 Betheny Weller Kate Loye Claudelands Rovers 9 15 Claudia Crasborn 14 Sam Muirhead 16 Caitlin Pritchard 15 Megan Robertson Belinda van Noorden Glenfield Rovers 8 17 Hannah Blake 16 Harriet Steele 18 Kristen Molloy 17 Rebecca Tegg 19 Jasmine Pereira 18 Evie Millynn Bethanee Witt Claudelands Rovers 7 20 Abby Roper 19 Dayna Manak Coach Alan Hindson 20 Emily Cooper Lily-Rose Dyer Western Springs 5 21 Lauren Mathis 22 Sophia Dyer Deven Jackson Eastern Suburbs 5 23 Penny Chapman 24 Hannah Kraakman Coach Richard Wilson Lauren Mathis Western Springs 5 Jade Parris Eastern Suburbs 5 Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier Tables Martine Puketapu Three Kings United
