Men’s games washed out, Mt Barker march to 11th straight win in GSSA women’s division one competition

A Danial Azimi hat-trick fired Caledonians to their sixth win in the Great Southern Soccer Association men’s division two competition, beating Polonia in round 11 on Saturday.

Both sides wrestled for the upper hand in the first half, but a determined Polonia broke the deadlock to lead by one goal at half-time.

A free-flowing brand of soccer was on display after the break as Caledonians shifted into top gear, netting five second-half goals to Polonia’s two on their way to a gritty 5-3 win.

Levi Clay and Harrison Smith were the other goal scorers for Caledonians.

The remaining division two matches were cancelled because of poor weather conditions and wet pitches, while the men’s division one games on Saturday night were also called off.

Meanwhile Mt Barker remain undefeated in the GSSA women’s division one competition following a dominant 7-0 victory over eighth-placed Phoenix on Friday night.

Libby Morris inspired her side once again, chipping in with four goals in their 11th consecutive win, while Leah Field, Melanie Greeney and Lowana Winter added one goal each.

Caledonians thumped Bayswater 9-1, with Kristen Pyrz-Brown (three goals), Kayla Stoney (two goals), Naomi Butler (two goals), Stephanie Grant (one goal) and Megan Orr (one goal) hitting the scoresheet.

A brace from Tayah Mastalerz guided Denmark A to a comfortable 2-0 win over Polonia B.

Rovers bounced back from their defeat by Mt Barker last round to finish as narrow winners against Polonia 1-0.

In the final women’s division one fixture, Sonics easily accounted for bottom-placed Denmark B with a 3-0 win.

In women’s division two, Denmark D’s Maya Gibson put in a match-winning display with a four-goal haul as her side edged past Rovers 4-3, while Mt Barker played out a 2-2 draw with Grammar.

In men’s division three and four, Phoenix Social defeated Sonics Social 5-0, Denmark Social prevailed over Grammar Griffins Men 6-0, Bayswater Social overcame Polonia Social 3-1, and ACC were victorious against Baysie Masters.
