The Sportspower Busselton City Premier women’s team continue to dominate the South West Soccer Association competition after recording a resounding 15-1 win over Football Margaret River on Saturday.

Coach Rob Gibbons was disappointed with his side’s first-half performance despite leading 4-0 at half-time. In the second half, Busselton demolished the home team with a much-improved second spell, with Chenaye Wright, Asha McClurg, Siobhan Longmore and Ariana Dawson scoring 12 goals between them.

Other scorers included Eliza Sheehan, Keeley Milner and Claudia Duane.

In a top-of-the-table ladies’ reserves clash, Busselton made the long trip to Balingup to play undefeated Blackwood.
