The game started as an exciting contest with neither team have the majority of possession of the ball.
The deadlock was broken midway through the first half by captain Morgan Coleman.
Lismore were quick to reply and going into half-time Wingham had a narrow lead of 3-1.
Strong defence by Oshi and Dimity Bartlett, Grace Coleman, Erica Colvin and Emily Page set the basis for our attack through Cassidy Mills, Kara Alla, Sophie Hartcher, Jaime Hemmingway, Shelby Johnston, Eliza Baker and Emily Foster to capitalise and gain results in the attacking goal circle.
Flawless goalkeeping by Maggie Sky kept Lismore scoreless in the second half and Wingham’s relentless pressure lead to the final result of a 9-1 win.
The team will now travel to Newcastle to play a series of games to try and place first in the State.
