Hurley hat-trick as Knights extend leadv

Western Knights have opened up a four-point gap at the top of the Men’s State League Division One following another dominant victory on Saturday.

Knights defeated Subiaco 4-0 at Nash Field, Alex Kretowicz scoring after nine minutes then Dean Hurley taking charge with a second-half hat-trick.

Western Knights have a maximum 15 points from their first five games, scoring 17 goals and conceding just two.

The two sides immediately behind Knights both drew – Forrestfield United were held 1-1 at home against Joondalup United while Quinns FC played a 2-2 draw at UWA Nedlands.

At 1620 Capital Stadium, Jordan Hart netted a first-half equaliser for Forrestfield to cancel out Dion Berman’s opener.

And Quinns were grateful for Sam Wynne’s second goal of the game three minutes from the end against a UWA side who had led twice through Georgios Papathanassiou and Pascal Sedgwick.

Fremantle have joined Quinns on 10 points, one behind Forrestfield, following their 2-0 defeat of Ashfield. Dantae Greer and Charlie Betts were the scorers.

Gyles Davies converted two penalties and Ajak Riak scored a double in Olympic Kingsway’s 5-2 win at Stirling Lions. Tyler Garner got Kingsway’s other, while Gavin Knight (pen) and Zane Casella were on target for Lions.

Swan United are still without a point after second-half goals from Shane Boyle and John Baird (pen) were enough to give Mandurah City a 2-0 win at Swan Italian Club.
