Arch rivals Sorrento and ECU Joondalup in good shape for match

Staff ReporterWanneroo Times

And it could be one of the hottest contests seen between the sides in recent years, with both teams having made a solid start to the season. ECU continued its unbeaten run, while Sorrento suffered its first loss in round three last weekend.

The Jacks were in a winning position by half time in their 4-1 away victory over Floreat Athena, having scored three goals in the first 25 minutes. Jon Stynes kicked the side’s fourth within seven minutes of the second half to seal the match.

Floreat scored a consolation penalty at the 90-minute mark.

ECU coach Dale McCulloch told NPL WA media he did not want the side to get ahead of itself after an unbeaten start to the season.
