The Essendon Royals Senior Women’s team is set to face off against South Yarra in Round 7 of the VPLW. The Royals will be hosting this match at Cross Keys Reserve on Friday, May 5th, at 8:30 PM.
The Royals are coming off an impressive win last week, where they scored six goals to beat Glen Waverley. With a total of 13 goals scored across Seniors and Reserves against Glen Waverley last weekend, the Royals are looking to continue their impressive scoring form and put on a great show for their home fans.
South Yarra has had a difficult start to their season, currently sitting in ninth place on the ladder with only one win. However, they gave a promising performance last week against one of the league’s top teams, Brunswick Juventus, only losing 5-3 in a closely contested game. This result shows that South Yarra is not to be underestimated and could pose a real challenge for the Royals.
The Royals have won four out of their five games and sit in second place on the ladder, only behind Ringwood City FC, who sit on top courtesy of having played a game extra. This match will be a critical one for the Royals if they want to keep up with Ringwood City FC and the other top teams in the league.
With the Royals’ impressive scoring form and South Yarra’s promising display last week, this match promises to be an exciting and hard-fought battle. The Royals will be looking to come out on top and continue their charge up the VPLW ladder.
