Nichols, Nolan, Bartlett, McShea, Tramacchi, Duus, Revell, Harch (Canham 40), Ferguson, Maza (Reuter 83), Mann (Dunne 75)
Goals : Jamara Maza 3, April Mann 25, Kim Revell 29 3 - 1 NSW Sapphires

Goal : Justine McLaughlin 11

Queensland Sting are assured of first place and a berth in the WNSL grandfinal with one round still remaining after comprehensively winning the top of the table clash against NSW Sapphires.
Queensland proved far too strong for the patchy NSW in the opening match of the day, winning 3-1 after the scores were locked at one apiece after just 11 minutes. Jamara Maza opened for the Sting in spectacular fashion after just 3 minutes, nailing a Zoe Nolan ball from deep with a first-time side volley into the roof of the net.
But the Sapphires won the ball near goal soon after, leaving the unmarked Justine McLaughlin with a simple shot home. The in-form Sting regained the lead in the 26^th minute, April Mann following up after a blocked Maza shot, and five minutes later, Kim Revell converted from the penalty spot.

Victoria Vision

Wirkus, C May, Morris, Gawlik, H May (Gross 62), Stocco, Spagnoletti (Baker 61), Alagich, Winn (Harrison 76), Jones (Tsacos 46), Halfpenny

An upset win to the Vics keeps them in the semifinals race alongside three other teams with one round to go. Victoria Vision emerged 1-0 winners from a hard-fought battle against Adelaide Sensation. Adelaide created the opportunities in the first half, but the two sides went in at the break scoreless.
With Vision starting to edge their way more into the play, Adelaide's Marie Spagnoletti then came closest with her header against the crossbar. But Vision scored what became the winning goal in the 68^th minute, defender Louisa Bisby sweetly curling her 24 metre freekick into the top of goal.

Two minutes into the second half, Tara McMinn blasted a cracking drive from distance for Northern's third to seal the win. Eclipse's Amy Taylor scored a consolation goal six minutes from time, a neat lob over the keeper from the right sideline.
