Women's Aussie Rules Kicks Off

The Sydney Women's Aussie Rules Football League are to open the Swans/Brisbane Lions game in Campbelltown on Saturday 13 March. This game has been chosen for the historic launch for women's footy in New South Wales.

For too long, women who could tell the difference between a handball and a forward pass could only watch from the edge of the oval. This means that now they can take a mark, go the hip and shoulder and boot a goal.

If you're interested, get yourself out to Fields Rd Reserve, Monarch Field, MacQuarrie Fields at 12.30 on Saturday 13 March. If you want to play, contact Helen Meyer on 0414 962 968.
