Forest Killarney have secured the Over 30 Women Champions of Champions trophy with a scintillating performance and an 8-2 victory against Epping Football Club.
The Northern Beaches side got off to a flying start, opening the scoring early on after a strong driving run from Jarka Rey was matched by a clinical finish into the bottom left corner. However, Amy Scott found the equaliser for Epping FC five minutes later with a good run and a clever, clipped finish.
In the back-and-forth affair that followed, it was Forest who prevailed, with Rey slipping Erika Alker in behind the defence, and the winger took the one-on-one chance, calmly slotting the ball into the back of the net.
Rey, who was fantastic on the day, scored again just after the interval, before completing her hat trick with a great finish to make it 4-1. Forest then netted a fifth and a sixth goal through Stacey Beer and Rey respectively.
There was a seventh Forest goal as Beer earned herself a brace, which was followed by Fatma Agar clawing a goal back for Epping FC with a stunning free kick.
The match would finish how it started, with Rey netting her fifth goal of the contest to see Forest take home the Over 30 Women Champion of Champions title.
