Peninsula Power have stormed to a comprehensive 11-1 victory over South West Queensland Thunder at Dalton Park on Sunday afternoon.

The first half belonged to Kelly Jenks, who scored a stunning four goals in less than thirty minutes, ably supported by Ashley Doyle. 

Thunder were unable to regroup following the break, with Brooke Barbuto following in Jenks's footsteps and netting her own four-goal haul. 

Louise Rolfe scored a consolatory goal in the 87th minute, breaking Power's resolute defence.

Power travel to the Gold Coast next weekend to continue their title charge, while Thunder look to climb out of the middle of the table when they host Brisbane Olympic.
