⚽ NPLW WA – Full Time

What a performance from Subiaco, showing tremendous grit and determination to come from behind and claim all three points.

After falling 2–0 down early, Subiaco fought their way back into the contest. Liana Cook opened the scoring with a quality penalty before a pivotal moment at the other end saw Bri O'Dell produce a brilliant double save from a Football West Academy penalty to keep the game within reach.

From there, Subiaco took control.

Liana Cook led the charge with a superb hat trick, Laura Waltman added a brace, and Ella Mastrantonio capped off the comeback with a phenomenal goal as Subiaco stormed to a thrilling 6–4 victory.

A fantastic team effort and another example of the resilience, belief and character within this group.

One Team. One Standard. ALL IN.

Our U21s faced a tough challenge against a strong Football West Academy side, going down 8–0. While the result wasn't what they were after, the group will take valuable lessons from the match and look to respond next week. ⚽

HISTORY AT THE WORLD CUP: FIRST ALL-WOMAN REFEREE TRIO OF THE 2026 WORLD CUP IS HERE 👏

Tori Penso, Brooke Mayo and Kathryn Nesbitt became the first all-woman refereeing team to officiate a men's World Cup match, taking charge of Czechia vs South Africa.

Penso also became only the second woman to referee at a men's World Cup, continuing the path opened by Stéphanie Frappart at Qatar 2022.

The American official awarded a penalty to South Africa after a handball inside the box, helping Bafana Bafana secure a 1-1 draw.

Born in Stuart, Florida, Penso's journey in football began when she convinced her mother to let her play at the age of 10.

Since then, she was the only woman selected among the 117 referees chosen for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, and has refereed the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Final.

Now, alongside Mayo and Nesbitt, she has written another chapter of World Cup history.

Another massive challenge awaits for our NPLW First Team tomorrow afternoon!

Balcatta Etna will bring plenty of steel on their own patch, but our girls have shown exactly what they are made of over the last eleven weeks.

This match is part of a massive Super Saturday so need some big support to line the fence and get behind the teams!
