    Wellington Phoenix manager Bev Priestman is weighing up the potential significance of a first time atop the women's A-League in club history

    Wellington Phoenix manager Bev Priestman is weighing up the potential significance of a first time atop the women's A-League in club history


    The second-placed Nix will surpass league leaders Melbourne City if they beat Perth Glory at Sky Stadium this afternoon.

    Priestman says they're aware of it, but heading the competition means less midway through a campaign.



    Kickoff's at 4pm - before the Nix men take on the Melbourne Victory at 7.
