REVIEW: 2025 F-League Rd13

Both our F-League Men’s and Women’s sides picked up three points in our final double header of the 2025 season. Our high amount of subs in both fixtures proved to be the difference on a scorching morning at Anna Meares Velodrome.

Opening the morning was our women’s team playing their final fixture of 2025. We dominated the game from the first whistle, with Shubreet Sran adding to her season tally in the opening possession of the game.

We continued to create chance after chance in the first half, consistently being denied by the Ipswich goalkeeper. We managed to add another twice, both through Sran to enter the break at 3-0.

The second half continued the same as the first half, with us creating chances consistently. Our fourth of the day was added through Eilish Mairhofer with a classy lob of the goalkeeper from the left flank. Bree Rafferty added the fifth moments later.

With five minutes to go, Ipswich opted to playing the power play where the snatched back two goals. Our morning closed off with Maia Watt pinching the ball during a power play possession and scoring the full length of the court.
