Sides meet for the first time in Round 3 of the NPL Women’s

March 5, 2020

As all teams try to establish some winning form early in the season, sides will meet for the first time in 2020 in Round 3 of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) Queensland Women’s competition.

All Round 3 matches this weekend will be available to watch live and on demand on the FQ YouTube channel.

Feature Match: Lions FC v Capalaba FC

Lions FC will be hungry for victory as they come up against Capalaba FC in the NPL Women’s Feature Match this weekend after a frustrating draw with Gap FC in last week’s Round 2 clash.

The only team to hand Lions a defeat in their stellar 2019 season, Gap FC provided a worthy challenge for the reigning Premiers as a 75th minute goal prevented a Lions win despite a brace from both Mariel Hecher and Tegan Riding.

This means the side’s only win so far this season comes as a result of a Souths United forfeit in Round 1, and Capalaba FC will look to capitalise come this weekend.

With two wins from two matches with Skie Hanifin at the helm, Capalaba FC have started their season in strong form.

Netting seven goals in their first two matches and conceding only 1, Capalaba have looked one of the best sides in the opening rounds of the NPL Women’s as players like Katy Couperus, Teani Karalouka and Teagan Thompson start the season in fine form.

This Feature Match should be a fascinating encounter as Capalaba look to extend their winning run, while Lions fight to get back in the winners’ circle.

Other Matches to Watch:

Mitchelton FC v Logan Lightning

Logan Lightning boast one of the best starts to the 2020 NPL Women’s season, recording back-to-back wins in the first two rounds of competition.

Natalia Pinkney and Tiarne Petterwood already have five goals each to their name after Logan scored 18 goals and conceded only two in their first two matches.

Mitchelton meanwhile have one win and one draw to their name so far in 2020, and may face a challenge coming up against a Logan side with plenty of momentum.

New recruit Sofie Persson may be a key factor in Mitchelton’s success having started the season in quality form, while Madison Moy already has two goals to her name and will search for more come this weekend’s Round 3 match.

QAS v Gap FC

Gap FC battled hard over the weekend to hold Lions FC to a 5-5 draw in their Round 2 clash.

The draw followed a Round 1 victory against SWQ Thunder, earning Laini Freier back-to-back appearances in the NPL Women’s Team of the Week.

QAS meanwhile recorded their first win of the season last weekend with a 3-0 victory against Western Pride and will need to continue this form if they are to challenge Gap FC for the three points this weekend.

Harkana Dixon (Eastern Suburbs): Dixon’s Round 2 performance earned her a spot in the Team of the Week, and she will be looking to continue this form come the weekend.

Isabella Habuda (Gold Coast United): Habuda scored four goals in Gold Coast United’s Round 2 win and can extend this goalscoring tally this weekend against Souths United.
