WA Football

On a perfect day for football with cloudless skies, sunshine and a slight breeze, the best youth girls in the metropolitan area and southern regions competed against eachother at Lightning Park in Noranda on Saturday, August 29.

Substantially growing in numbers from three teams in 2008 to eight teams this year, the carnival gave the girls a chance to show why they want to play more than just one day a year.

The football skills of the participants improved as the carnival progressed, with every metropolitan District represented, together with girls travelling from Carnarvon, Northam, Katanning, Albany, Busselton and Bunbury.

Grand Finalists were decided for the WA Women's Football League (WAWFL) after the preliminary-finals were played at EFTel Oval on the weekend.
 
EFTel Oval, home of the Perth Demons WAFL side, will also host the WAWFL Grand Finals this Sunday, September 6, starting at 12.30pm when South Fremantle and the Joondalup Falcons will battle it out for the Division 2 Premiership.

Coastal Titans will then face East Fremantle Sharks (pictured) at 2.30pm for the Division 1 Premiership.

More than 100 female football players will arrive at Lightning Park in Noranda tomorrow, Saturday, August 29, to compete in the second annual Youth Girls Carnival sponsored by the Department of Sport and Recreation.

The carnival, which has grown from three teams last season to eight this year, will be contested by the best under-18 females from around WA, with each metropolitan district selecting an All-Star team to compete against WA Country and a combined Western Waves side.

Joondalup women’s football team will face Coastal Titans at 12.30pm this Sunday at EFTel Oval to earn a place in the grand final against South Fremantle.

The Joondalup team has enjoyed a stellar season, finishing third on the ladder and defeating East Fremantle in last weekend's elimination final with a strong team and a taste for victory.

The 23rd WAWFL Finals series kicked off on the weekend with Coastal Titans and and Swan Districts running out winners in Division 1, while Joondalup and South Fremantle claimed victory in the second division.
