The team rounded out their season with a 2-0 win away to Manly on Sunday. Goals on either side of the half from Kaelah Austin and Michelle Carney put the result beyond doubt for Anthony Guido's team.

The team welcomed back Young Matildas captain Sheridan Gallagher for the final few games of the season. Gallagher was unable to play for the side due to her selection for the Young Matildas for the U-20 World Cup in Costa Rica.

After punching above their weight for the majority of the season, the side finished eighth on the ladder, seven points off Olympic in the finals spots.

The Stingrays will now look to plan for next season.
