     Coach : Craig Deans |   
| Note : Kyra Cooney-Cross is officially credited with the goal, the first
    in the W-League for this young woman, but in truth it should be marked as an own goal for
    Orgill. Cooney-Cross managed to get a glancing header on the ball but only her Mum would have thought
    it would go in were it not for the much more robust contact that the defender got to put the
    ball in the net. We have chosen to follow the official line here, but with reservations. |
