Mathew Keith was the hero as Inglewood United of State League Division One defeated NPL side Fremantle City in the Hahn Australia Cup Round Five.

Keith netted twice to help Inglewood take a 3-1 half-time lead at Proto DPS Stadium, with Jordan Black the hosts’ other scorer. And though Sam Cook reduced the arrears after the break, adding to Nick Ambrogio’s earlier effort, Inglewood went through to the last eight of the WA section of the competition.

Joe Hobson scored a hat-trick and Tyler Garner the other as Olympic Kingsway beat Perth SC 4-2 in a game between two NPL big guns. Josh Cala and David Ninkovich added late respectability to the scoreline for the Azzurri, but they were well beaten.

Stirling Macedonia also scored seven as they made light work of Division One Kingsley Westside at Macedonia Park. Alex Tanevski, Asher Nelson, Sam Wynne, Joshua Bilaloski, Kade Fearnall, Sam Wynne and Hugo Snowdon scored Stirling’s goals, before a late own goal put Kingsley on the board.

Subiaco made sure they didn’t waste their previous round upset win over NPL Sorrento FC as they knocked out fellow Division One side Kalamunda City 2-1. Rubens Faure struck twice for the visitors, either side of Gaston Bazet’s goal for City.

Also through are Balcatta Etna, 4-2 winners at Floreat Athena in a game between the NPL’s bottom two sides. Jon Stynes, a summer capture from Bayswater, got a hat-trick for Balcatta with Liam Hudson grabbing the other. Noah Shamaki and Jesse Roberts were the Floreat scorers.

Another NPL side through are Western Knights, who were made to work before beating Curtin University 2-1 at Nash Field. Dyland White and Kosta Sparta but Knights two up before Janno Saks pulled one back for the Division One outfit.

Finally, first division Murdoch University Melville were comfortable 3-0 winners at Division Two Canning City. Ed Wynne-Willson, Gustavo Marulanda and Thomas Maycock-Hansen were the scorers.

The draw for Round Six will take place this week.
