The Hanwood ladies side continue their good run of form as they were able to pick up their fifth straight win over the weekend with a 6-3 victory over Junee.
Airlee Savage scored another three goals to add to her strong tally for the season, while a Tara Ceccato double and one to Kandice Bertoldo wrapped up the win.
Coach Anthony Zuccato was pleased with his side's performance.
"It was a game that we needed to get under our belts, especially after the washed out round the week before, just to get our combinations sorted and get a bit more match fitness," he said.
"It was a better game than the scoreline suggested. The girls upfront when they got their chances to get goals they were able to convert."
With the five-game winning streak extending back to the 3-3 draw with Tolland the last time the sides met, Zuccato feels his side are re-finding their mojo.

"There were some beautiful finishes and some great through balls by all of the girls in the midfield and the backline," he said.
"We are starting to get back to where we were last year. Our passes were coming together, and they were sticking."
Tolland is three points ahead of the Hanwood side heading into the weekend, and Zuccato expects a tough match.
"They are sitting top of the ladder, so they are a team that always brings their best whenever they play us," he said.
