Top-of-the-table clash in WA State League 1 Reserves
Kingsley Westside Reserves and Quinns FC Reserve meet in a top-of-the-table reserves clash in the WA State League 1 Reserves 2026 on Saturday where three points will be vital. Kingsley are currently sitting at the top of the league, while Quinns are third and pushing in a tight promotion race.
The clash between the top side and the third-placed side in the division is also a meeting between two very different styles of football. Ben Andrews' Kingsley Reserves are a copy of the club's first team in many ways, patient and possession-based, with a structured approach to pressing and a disciplined defence that they can build from. When they are on top of the game, they can control the tempo and carve out chances.
Quinns, meanwhile, play a very different style. Nick
Jennings has brought a high-pressing, high-intensity system
to the club since
his appointment
Firepower on both sides should lead to a goal fest
While Kingsley are more than capable of keeping the ball and dominating the game, they could be in trouble against a team who want to run them over and push them back. The visitors' 6-0 rout of Subiaco was a masterclass in how the system can break down a side with a less clear plan and an over-reliance on a single target man.
Rylan Peters has been the main man for Quinns in the last couple of games with a brace in the 6 - 0 win over Subiaco, while Cameron Briggs is also a regular goalscorer for the visitors, converting penalties and contributing in high-scoring fixtures, and Gavin Walker and Jack Mahon provide additional firepower. Kingsley have some dangerous players of their own in Finlay Cannon and Cohan Harrison, who scored in the 2-0 away win over Murdoch University Melville Reserves on 30th May 2026, while Shae Delnon and Zak Reid provide a late-game threat from set-pieces and long balls.
Quinns’ firepower is the key to victory
Over 2.5 goals is 1.41 here for a reason and that is the selection we're backing given the recent form of both of these sides. While Kingsley are more solid at the back, they've been susceptible to heavy defeats in away games this season, and the odds on goals is so short that's worth a play.
Quinns are the bookies' pick at 1.9, with Kingsley at 3.02 and the draw at 3.92. We're going to side with the attack-minded visitors here as the best value bet on the match result market as they are just a bit more likely to take the three points and push the promotion race back into a tight race. A 2-1 win for Kingsley is the correct score selection as they are solid at home and grind out results, but we're also taking the 2-2 draw as a backup bet as this could be a thriller.
