Losses to Caledonians and Rovers keep race for men’s division one league title wide open

Denmark B’s upset victory over Caledonians A last Saturday has left the race for the Great Southern Soccer Association men’s division one league title wide open heading into the final round. Caledonians were one point behind league leaders Rovers A and a win could have propelled them to the top spot but they squandered the opportunity. A brace from Ande Powys guided Denmark to their first win since the men’s competitions were split. Powys netted one goal in each half as his side prevailed 2-0 and dented Caledonians title hopes in round 16. Polonia A enhanced their title hopes after defeating Rovers A 2-0 in their clash. Liam Murdock and Titan Puls found the back of the net in the win, as their team netted one goal in each half. Bayswater A won the other men’s division one clash by forfeit over Port Albany B. Caledonians, Rovers and Polonia can all finish in top of the standings and claim the league title going into this Saturday’s final round of fixtures. In the women’s division one competition on Friday night, Denmark A continued their impressive season with a convincing 3-0 win over Caledonians A. Phoenix A remain in second spot on the table after two first-half goals from Jacy Mostert and Bronte Dekker guided them to a 2-0 win over Rovers B. Four goals from Libby Morris and braces to Gabby White and Holly Hoare ensured Polonia A finished emphatic 9-0 winners over Phoenix B, seven of the goals coming in the final 45 minutes. In men’s division two on Saturday Phoenix B edged out Caledonians B, 5-4, while a second half goal to Joel Baty helped Polonia B secure a 1-0 win over Royals B. A brace to Esther Taylor guided Denmark B to a 3-0 win over Polonia B in the women’s division two competition on Friday night. In the men’s social/vets competition last Tuesday night, Bayswater Social downed Baysie Masters 4-2, Old Boys beat Denmark 5-0, Cross Keys won 4-1 over Australian Christian College Social and Great Southern Grammar Social prevailed 1-0 over Sonics Social while The Vets won by forfeit over Rovers Social.
