Sometimes, it’s just not your day.

The resilience of Wangaratta City’s senior women’s team was tested at home on Sunday, when the Lady Devils were on the wrong end of a 1-10 goalfest against Boomers FC

The defence was put under pressure all day, with six goals alone coming in the first half of play.

The second half saw Wangaratta City salvage some pride, conceding only four goals while finding a consolation goal through Kat De Napoli.

Senior coach Raul Pahina said they were just outperformed by a superior team.

“We just got beaten by a better team,” he said.

“They had some really high-standard players, we just couldn’t move the ball clean or quick enough.”

While the division one men had the bye, it was a chance for the reserves to take centre stage.

In a tight contest, it was the Devils who emerged victorious thanks to a trio of goal scorers, Wangaratta home 3-2.

The match was deadlocked until the second half, which saw Ferry Agustian, Jaume Perez and Jack Whiley find the back of the net.

The result sees the men’s reserve team secure third place on the ladder, just six points shy of ladder leaders Albury Hotspurs.
