The Strikers began strongly with two very early goals, setting the tone for the match.
From there they controlled the game, sticking to their processes and maintaining pressure throughout.
It was fantastic to see a range of names on the scoresheet, showcasing the team's depth and attacking options. Just as impressive was the continued strong support, with a full team of 16 taking the field once again.
Best on ground went to Scott Marks and Leith Metcalf, who both played their roles superbly and ran hard all day.
A great bounce back after last week's result and a solid all-round performance.
