Four Portland Thorns FC players saw action in week six of the Westfield W-League as Ashleigh Sykes and Canberra United hosted Hayley Raso, Celeste Boureille and the Brisbane Roar, while Emily Sonnett and Sydney FC took on Melbourne Victory on Friday.
After winning their last three in a row, Sykes and her Canberra side were stymied by a streaking Brisbane team—who collected their third win in as many games with Raso and Boureille's side coming out as 1-0 winners. Raso, Boureille and Sykes each were tabbed for the start at McKellar Park, the latter playing 74 minutes while the Roar representatives put in a full 90.
