Stirling no match for rampant Sorrento
Sorrento extended their winning streak with a dominant display to dump Stirling Lions 3-0 at Macedonia Park on Saturday.
With Ryan Pearson and Brad McDonald pulling the strings in midfield and Sean Canham in fine-form up-front, Sorrento never looked in any doubt of grabbing all three points and continuing where they left off last week following their surprise win at league-leaders Inglewood.
It took just ten minutes for Sorrento to open the scoring with Tim Hill capitalising on his side’s early pressure and pouncing on a loose ball to slot home from 6m.
Two minutes later it was 2-0 with Canham reacting quickest to a long ball over the Lion’s defence and keeping his composure to lob the stranded John Perkins in goal.

Woodall double keeps United top
The victory means that rivals Bayswater and Perth SC will have to wait at least another week for a chance to take the lead.
The away side opened the scoring in just the 6th minute when the ball was cut back to Woodall who played into an empty net.
Inglewood had an opportunity to double their lead when Mark Pritchard whipped a free kick into the box from the halfway line in the 27th minute.
A slight touch off the head of Adam Tong was enough to direct the ball towards goal but Armadale keeper Alec Radonich dived low to prevent his side from going 2-0 down.

Perth leave it late to claim derby win
Perth SC left it late to seal a well-deserved win over fierce rivals Bayswater City in yesterday’s PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues WA encounter at Dorrien Gardens on Sunday.
The win lifts Perth up to second with only two points separating them from leaders Inglewood who they face in Round 21 while all but ending Bayswater’s defence of the title.
After an initial feeling out period Bayswater settled the better of the two sides as Perth camped outside their penalty area with Gustavo Catarcione the focal point of their counter attacks.
Sudanese international Lawrence Shurama was a constant outlet for Bayswater with his pace an ever present threat but they failed to cause Nathan Diaz and Adrian Madaschi any real scares.
