This perception may have begun to shift recently, after the team won two matches in a single week.

Goulburn came into the round with two wins, two draws, and five losses for the season.

Up against the last-ranked North Canberra Eagles on Thursday night, Goulburn's women were favourites going in, but knew better than to take any opposition for granted.

Rising star Makayla Jones led the scoring with two goals for the visitors at Powell Field in Lyneham, accompanied by Chloe Montgomery and Brianna Connor with one apiece.

After their 4-0 win to start the week, Goulburn's players were in for a tougher challenge on Sunday against Central, who were in the top five.

While Central put up a tough fight, Sophie Cornish put them to the sword with two goals, and she was ably assisted by Caitlin Jones and Annabel Croker with one each.

Following their 4-1 victory over Central, Goulburn has climbed to fifth on the women's Capital League ladder.

Although it is likely to struggle against competition heavyweights such as ANU or Tuggeranong Valley - who currently sit first and second respectively - the Goulburn side has given itself a chance of qualifying for finals with plenty of time to go in the season.

After Sunday's match, seven rounds remain in the 2020 season. A top four spot is not out of the question, but it will require strong performances to overcome the current third and fourth-ranked teams in St Patrick's and the University of Canberra.

This weekend, Goulburn will not take to the field, but the team has an ideal chance to further boost its position with its next clash against eighth-ranked OCHC on Thursday, October 1.

This will be followed two days later by a tough fixture against UCHC, but it will also serve as a good indicator as to where Goulburn truly stand among the field in 2020.

Goulburn's vast reserves of talent mean the sky is the limit, and the players will no doubt look to continue the winning streak on which they currently find themselves.
