Looking forward and excited about seeing the women's game get the same acknowledgement as the men's with their final series scheduled on the same day and at the same venue as the men's. Still very keen to see much greater ownership of the administration of the women's platform by the women.

Our inaugural women's games were officiated female referees. The Doody Park game saw one of our up and coming very young female referees control the middle. A great start and also a focus of the league to increase the participation of females in officiating the game. Interested or know anyone interested you can register your interest at our web site:
