Singleton Strikers secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they downed South Cardiff FC 5-0 at Ulinga Oval in the round nine rescheduled fixture.
It took Singleton just 16 minutes to open the scoring on Friday night when Nick Claut netted his second goal of the season.
The striker's equal-leading goal scorer, Joel Barner, scored his first of the evening just four minutes later in the 20th minute and doubled his side’s lead where the score would remain at half-time.
South Cardiff was unable to find the back of the net in the second half and fight their way back to winning ways.
Instead, back-to-back goals in the 52nd and 54th minute from Lachlan Nicol and Barner further extended the Strikers lead.
The Gunners had no answers to put a stop to Singleton’s dominant front third before Ryan Claut put the nail in the coffin when he netted the fifth and final goal of the evening in the 67th minute.
It was Singleton’s second clean sheet and first back-to-back wins of the season.
They moved to third on the table and three points behind Kahibah FC in second. However, Kahibah have an extra game in hand.
The Strikers will look to keep the good times rolling when they host league leaders Toronto Awaba FC on Saturday afternoon.
