The South West Phoenix Firebirds made it two wins from two games, with a 2-0 victory at Port Kennedy on Sunday.
A welcome clean sheet, plus a goal each from Eleanor Coventry and captain Lucy Scott, ensures that the Firebirds will keep their 100 per cent record at the start of the season.
The Firebirds went into the game missing Kashia King and Grace Miller.
Similarly to last week, the team was slow to get going.
The small pitch and blustery conditions made life difficult, and time on the ball was hard to come by.
The first half saw a lack of goal-mouth action, as both defences snuffed out openings.
Scott was expected to cause problems for Port Kennedy, and did so during the second half.
A classic counter-attack from the Firebirds began with powerhouse Asha McClurg making a last-ditch challenge to prevent Port Kennedy from taking a shot on goal.
McClurg then started the Firebirds' move which went to Sheedy, Griffiths, and then onto Scott.
Starting at half way, Scott burst down the line before cutting inside and unleashing an unstoppable shot from 18 yards to give the Firebirds a 1-0 lead.
The team doubled its margin soon after, when Scott laid Eliza Griffiths' cross into the path of Coventry who fired a powerful shot into the net from the top of the box.
The two goals were enough to seal the game for the Firebirds, who had their back line to thank for keeping Port Kennedy at bay.
The Firebirds kicked off their 2019 season campaign with a 4-2 win over last year's runners-up, Wanneroo City, in Round One.
The side now faces a tough assignment when they host UWA at WML Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
The Firebirds will be without their leading scorer (Coventry), who will miss the next two matches.
Last weekend, the South West Phoenix Junior teams travelled up the coast before taking on Subiaco AFC.
Phoenix's Under 13s came away with a 1-1 draw, before the U14s claimed a resounding 5-2 victory.
Following the U15s' 0-0 draw, the Phoenix's U16s suffered a heart-breaking 0-1 loss.
All four teams will return to the field this weekend.
