The Gap FC's squad has proved to be too strong for Olympic FC after a solid 8-0 victory at Goodwin Park.
The Gators had players to spare for the resheduled Wednesday night clash, where as Olympic's injury riddled squad had only one player on the bench.
The scene was set for both Ruth Blackburn and Greta Bodey to continue their goal scoring forms with a hattrick each, while Sarah Miller and Kaitlyn Winter contributed a goal a peice.
Blackburn now sits on equal second in the race for the seasons top goal scorer with 19 goals from 12 matches.
The Gators will face up against UQFC this weekend, while Olympic host Thunder at Goodwin Park.
