The Urunga Raiders (red and yellow) claimed the Women’s Challenge Cup with a composed 2-0 win over the Macleay Valley Rangers (white and blue) after three days of action at Nambucca Strikers’ home ground, Coronation Park.
Fresh off a dominant 4-0 semi-final victory over Coffs United, the Raiders brought the same intensity into the decider, overcoming a determined Rangers outfit that threatened on multiple occasions but couldn’t find the breakthrough.
The Raiders were all smiles at full-time as Nambucca Strikers president Clay Urquhart presented the trophy, along with a $1,400 winner’s cheque. The Rangers, gallant in defeat, took home $500 as runners-up.
In the men’s competition, West Pymble FC edged out Northern Storm 1-0 in a tight contest. Northern Storm created chances, but West Pymble’s defence stood firm to secure the narrow victory.
