In the same round, Kincumber defeated Southern and Ettalong, 1-0
Despite dominating the attack in the first 20 minutes, the Roos struggled to find that final pass that would lead to a goal-scoring opportunity.
Kincumber's Helaina Wellington was very strong in attack, making numerous strong runs down the right and delivering some beautiful cross balls but a spirited Southern and Ettalong outfit thwarted everything the Roos threw at them.
During the first half, the Roos were unlucky not to have registered a couple of goals, but with neither side unable to break the deadlock the score remained locked at 0-0 at halftime.
The second half was more of the same as both teams lifted, keen to secure a vital win.
Fresh legs saw the Roos mount frequent attacks into Southern and Ettalong territory, but they were holding on.
It looked like it was just not Kincumber's day.
Then, with 20 seconds remaining, Emily Smith shot into the clear with the ball at her feet to slot the winning goal calmly and skilfully, a superb effort to give her side all three points and their second win of the year.
