In the only match on a wet weather affected Sunday, Souths United have rocketed to a convincing 7-0 victory against Western Pride at Wakerley Park.
Souths' Kiri Dale was instrumental in the home side's win, scoring a classy hat-trick that included a thunderbolt from outside the 18-yard box.
Both Deanna Thompson and Tayler Stevens scored doubles, with the Pride defence unable to cope with Souths' quick interplay of passing.
With confidence sky high, Souths travel to University of Queensland next weekend, while Western Pride host Peninsula Power.
