ARMADALE has caused one of the sporting upsets of the week, demolishing Floreat Athena 4-0 at their home ground.
Floreat Athena has been one of the strongest teams in recent history of the NPLWA but have found themselves struggling in 2018 with just three wins from their first 10 games.
A home game against the second-last Armadale was touted as a good chance for Athena to get a much-needed win on the board, but the visitors were eager to prove they weren’t going to be pushovers.
The floodgates opened early when Armadale captain Nathan Costello volleyed home a cross from teammate Chris Jackson in the 14th minute, before Jackson himself sent a ball past the keeper in the 35th minute to make it 2-0.
