A big win against bottom side Northern Rovers has taken Western Springs to the top of the Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier League.
Four goals from Lari Colpi inspired Springs to a 6-0 win under the Friday night lights at Seddon Fields.
Colpi, selected this week for the New Zealand U-19s women’s team to go to this month’s OFC U-19 Championship in Fiji, registered a first-half hat-trick before adding her fourth in the second spell.
