Re: WNPL Season 2019

I'd imagine it was promoted via the club's social media platforms. The question was not about the clubs. Rather the opportunity that was available at the Parks last Friday night to leverage off the excellent breakfast event the day prior. What do you suggest?

Re: WNPL Season 2019

Round 1 has come and gone. International Women's Day coincided with round 1 and may I say, I was underwhelmed by the lack of exposure or promotion that IWD received at the Parks. I was probably expecting a lot more given that all games were scheduled at the Parks to celebrate this wonderful day. May...

Re: ADL v SYD

WOW what a night in Manly and what a game. Result aside, the game had all the drama. We started sensationally with Latsko scoring. Then the weather break. Then AUFC continued to press and create chances. THEN Sydney turn on the afterburners. De Vanna left the pitch. Princess arrived and the game tur...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

There is some confusion out there. Cumberland is out there spruiking them remaining in the WNPL and you saying they're dropped down a level. Someone's wrong. Cumberland have been making public announcements about coaches, presidents etc. and on that basis securing players (current and new) as a resu...

Re: Cumberland has a new Senior Coach

Good sensible discussions. No I'm not saying all teams are required to have 3 different coloured strips. My experience is that the 2 H & A strips for the 10 players and the GK are approved before the season. I have heard/seen where a GK has 3 coloured strips. Common sense approach? Of course. BT...

I think most clubs have that in place. If its an WNPL game, the FFSA allocate the strips the day prior to o...

City 4 - Fulham Nil (2 yellow cards maybe a red)
Metro 2 - NTC 1
Adelaide Uni 0 - Cumberland 1

A few games to go but it looks like the ladder may stay as it is. The finals series will be a BEAUTY.
