Margaret River 0, Dunsborough 4

At long last the young Dunsborough Towners women’s team have secured a victory in the 2009 Women’s Premier League with a gutsy 2-1 win over Margaret River at Gloucester Park on Sunday.

The Towners have been threatening to win in most of their matches this season only to lack the finishing touches to compliment the dominance that has been created in their general play.

Certainly they were outclassed by Bunbury Dynamo last week and probably will struggle against the likes of Hay Park and Busselton who possess strong squads.

However, they are good enough to compete successfully with the rest of the competition.

Again they looked superior to River for most of the match, and a spectacular goal from defender Anna McBride, the Bean Cafe Player of the Match, in the 18th minute provided a confidence booster for the team.

They continued where the left off at half-time with a strong opening to the second half only to let River back into the game and equalise midway through the half.

For while it was anyone’s game but with time running out a concerted push forward allowed Kate French to force the ball over the line for the winner.
