The Womens Premier League Grand Final Wrap for 2010

The 2010 season has closed, all Women's grand finals in the Premier League concluded. Mission accomplished!

The celebrations for some continue on....  For the rest of us, there is always next season.

The team that won the grand final is pictured below and my wrap on the Women's Premier League Grand Finals (I saw all of them) follows. Some content sourced from Capital Football - well done Russ Gibbs, Media Liaison Officer for the very timely results updates on the CF website all season - it made a big difference.

Players FC Do Football For the Kids In After School Care - Its a Smash Hit!

This program is broadcast on 2xxfm, 98.3mhz on Tuesday at 7:00PM. through the Australian Community Radion Network

In this program we speak to Anthony Hatton, of the club called Players FC. We’ve spoken to Anthony last year about his Club and football philosophy. Anthony Hatton is, to coin a phrase – “An Ideas Man”! He does a lot for Junior Football development, runs a football club that focuses on junior players, is the coach of the Girls Grammar U18 Div 1 team and is pioneering terrific junior football initiative – Players FC are delivering Football development and lots of fun to after school care in the ACT Primary Schools. Told you he was an ideas man – he is also an action man. Want it done, give a smart busy man the job – that’s Anthing Hatton and Players FC. Your primary school should pick up on this program – the kids love it.


An extra-ordinary thing happened in the Womens Pl match between Woden Valley and Brindabella Blues. A young player from Woden scored 8 goals – yes 8. And her younger sister scored 7 in the PL18s game. We’ll speak to Woden Valley Women’s PL coach , Ed Hollis – he must still be in state of amazement. Can you recall when something like this last happened in the PL?

Download the Podcast here:


Hope your weekend of football went well. Mine was a mixed bag! Good coaches winning, good coaches doing it tough, a poor junior coach, winning teams and teams doing it tough. Whinging players, players enjoying football, parents happy their children are playing and unhappy parents. Makes me dizzy! Please read on!!
