GRAND final champions Northern Storm kept their title hopes alive with a commanding 4-1 win over Boambee in the HIT105.5 Men’s Premier League at Korora last Saturday.
Campbell Brear lit the fuse with a solo run, slicing through the defence before dinking the ball over the keeper for his sixth goal of the season.
Despite dominating the opening half and creating a flurry of chances, the Storm went into the break just 1-0 up.
Brear doubled his tally after the restart, scoring his seventh goal of the season putting him in contention for the 2025 Golden Boot Award.
The floodgates opened thereafter with James Tial and Muang Lian scoring in the last ten minutes to seal victory.
The three points means the Storm leapfrog Boambee into fourth spot trailing Yamba, Coffs United and Woolgoolga.
The Northern Storm next face the Coffs Coast Tigers on Saturday 21 June at Korora with a 2:30pm kick off.
Boambee make the trip North to play top of the league Yamba Breakers with a 5:30pm kick off.
