UPDATE 9.30pm: Perth SC will be keen to strengthen their push for a top-four finish and keep their outside title chances alive when they kick off Round 13 in the NPLWA - Women’s competition tonight away to Curtin University.
The Azzurri will move to within a point of second-place Fremantle City and five off top spot if, as expected, they overcome Curtin at Edinburgh Oval.
A hat-trick from Jess Flannery set up Perth for an impressive 4-2 win over Hyundai NTC last week, and reminder of the firepower at their disposal.
It is hard to see how Curtin will contain them, having yet to register a point this season and with double-figure defeats in six of their matches including their last three.
Saturday's tea-time kick-off between Murdoch University Melville and Balcatta Etna will take place at Besteam Stadium, as originally scheduled.
The game was postponed on Friday afternoon, but after consultation between Football West and the two clubs, the game is back on.
The top two teams in the Women’s NPL are both in action on Sunday.
Top-of-the-table Perth RedStar will be favourites to win again when they host second-bottom Subiaco.
While not the all-conquering side that swept all before them last year, RedStar are finding their groove as they showed when dismissing Balcatta’s challenge last time out.
They are currently four points clear and another victory at RedStar Arena will put the pressure on Fremantle City to take maximum points when they face Hyundai NTC at E&D Litis Stadium at the same time.
Freo dug in to win at Subiaco last week and eight victories from their 12 games is a strong return for Faye Chambers’ side.
