Perth Thundersticks women top table after second straight win
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 06:01 · Archive
Perth Thundersticks women remain undefeated after beating HC Melbourne to top the Hockey One table.
The Perth Thundersticks women defeated HC Melbourne in Hockey One, extending their unbeaten start to the season. Madi Ratcliffe opened the scoring three minutes in with a penalty corner drag flick, but Sophie Murphy equalised for Melbourne before quarter-time. The match remained tied until the third quarter, when Belle Ramshaw's tackle set up Neasa Flynn to score. After Flynn was brought down, Courtney Schonell converted the resulting penalty stroke. Goalkeeper Summer Greenway made several crucial saves, including a penalty stroke late in the final quarter, to secure the victory.
The result puts the women's team on top of the Hockey One table, one of only two teams remaining undefeated after two rounds. Their success contrasts sharply with the men's side, who lost their second consecutive match to HC Melbourne. The men conceded four goals, with Nathan Ephraums scoring twice for Melbourne and Harry Golding scoring twice in response for Perth, but the deficit proved too large to overcome.
