The Woolgoolga Wolves cemented their position at the top of the HIT105.5 North Coast Premier League with a commanding 3-1 victory over the Westlawn Tigers last Saturday in Woolgoolga.
Nick Mallett opened the scoring for the Wolves in the fifth minute, weaving down the left flank before slotting the ball home following a deflection off the Westlawn goalkeeper.
Fraser Duryea doubled the advantage at the 18-minute mark, executing a perfectly timed run into the penalty area and finishing with composure past the diving keeper.
The Westlawn Tigers rallied in the second half, and when Tom Westman pulled a goal back in the 58th minute to make it 2-1, it was game on.
However, Duryea sealed the victory and three points for Woolgoolga with a decisive goal in the final ten minutes.
This victory solidifies the Wolves’ position at the top of the league, amassing 18 points from six consecutive wins. Last year’s premiers, the Northern Storm, trail in second place with 12 points from five matches.
