MELTON had been threatening to break through for its first win and did so in style against Brimbank Stallions in FFV provisional league 3 north west on Saturday.
The trip to North Sunshine yielded Melton’s first win of the season as it prevailed 5-2.
Victory lifts the unbeaten Phoenix to fifth on the table with one win and three draws, four points off the promotion pace of second-placed Melbourne Tornado.
Melton returns to MacPherson Park this weekend for a 3pm kick-off against Melbourne City (sixth, five points).
Melton’s women couldn’t make it a winning double for the weekend though, losing 3-1 to Casey Comets in state league 3 north-west on Friday
night.
Melton’s two wins and two losses is good enough for fourth on the table.
The Phoenix women play away at Bulleen Lions this weekend.
