The Wellington Phoenix are up with the pace-setters in both the mens and womens' A-League competitions

The men have overcome Melbourne City 1-nil to sit alongside Western Sydney at the top of the table.

While the Nix women have beaten high-flying Perth 2-1 to cement third on the ladder, just one point off the pace.

Women's coach Paul Temple says their imports continue to impress.



Heading into a break for international matches, the Nix women have already surpassed last season's tally of four wins...just six matches into this season's campaign.
