AT 1-1 mid-way through the first half, Toowoomba Raiders coach Mick Turvey thought his girls were in with a chance in their Women's SEQ Diamond League match at Toara Park against Peninsula Power.


The visitors emphatically showed that wasn't the case as the visitors ran out 12-1 victors on Saturday night.


Peninsula opened the scoring after about 20 minutes before Raiders striker Abbey Lloyd netted a goal to equalise.


From there though, Raiders gave away too much possession and allowed the visitors to pile in the goals.


"There were just too many mistakes. We gave the ball away too many times," Turvey said.


"Some girls just didn't want to put their bodies on the line in defence.


"I went off at the end of the game. I was pretty disappointed."


The result leaves Raiders at the bottom of the ladder.


Meanwhile for the second weekend in a row, the Raiders men went down to leaders Annerley in Brisbane Men's Capital League Two action on Saturday.


Annerley cements its lead at the top of the ladder with a 4-1 victory; a result that saw Raiders drop to 10th six points out of the top four.
