Woonona Sharks 2 (Wheatley 20’, Woods 84’) Thirroul Thunderbirds 0

The Woonona Sharks secured their first win for the year defeating the Thirroul Thunderbirds 2-0 in round two of the Julie Porter Cup.

Jordan Wheatley opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a neatly placed goal for the Sharks.

The Thunderbirds had a flood of chances in the last 15 minutes of the match, but with a series of injuries for the Thirroul side, it was Woonona that would go into the break with a 1-0 lead.

A well-experienced Nikita Woods added to the Sharks lead, scoring her first goal for the year in the 84thminute.

Woonona took home their first win for the Julie Porter Cup against a well-structured Thirroul Thunderbirds team.
