AFTER two weeks of Barossa Light & Gawler Football Association women’s senior competition, Willaston sits comfortably on top after registering a total of 117 points for, and just one point against.
The Donnybrooks backed up last week’s 82-0 thrashing of Gawler Central with a 34-point beating of Barossa District, showing a four-quarter effort by scoring at least one goal in each period.
Darna Veen starred, kicking three goals in her second consecutive game to lead the league, doubling the three-goal total of Fiona Habermann, Libby Fiebiger, and teammate Katie O’Doherty who are tied for second.
The Bulldogs mustered its only point of the game in the second quarter, with the Donny defence relatively untested in the second half, finishing the game 5.5 (35) to 0.1 (1).
Gawler Central kicked its first goal of the season in the last quarter of its meeting with Angaston, courtesy of Ainslee Knight, but couldn’t keep Angaston off the board.
The Panthers, who had five individual goal-kickers on the day, got off to a reasonable start with four scoring shots in the first term going through for 1.3 (9).
The second quarter was solid defensively for the Tigers, and while it couldn’t take advantage of the scoring end with any points, it held Angaston to just one scoring shot.
After Ango piled on 3.5 in the third term, the game was put to bed, but credit to Gawler Central for coming out and winning the final quarter with one goal against the Panthers’ one point.
The final result of Angaston 5.9 (39) to Gawler Central’s 1.0 (6) leaves the Panthers in second spot on the ladder as the only team to play three games this season, while Gawler Central sits in a tie for bottom with winless Barossa District.
