The Illawarra Youth Girls started competition this year after last year's highly publicised incident of the deregistration of Madison Giffin and Jessie Mulholland with sufficient girls in the Illawarra / South Coast region. With four clubs participating Figtree Kangaroos, Albion Park Crows, Shellharbour Swans and Dapto Eagles they have played a league competition format. They have had sufficient girls to challenge the ACT Youth Girls in a Interstate format.
In the future depending on numbers a proposed Wollongong based-side formed from the nucleus of this Youth Girls League could enter a side within SWAFL.
The match will be played at Figtree Oval, Figtree. Directions are F6 Freeway to Wollongong, get off at Princes Hwy (Figtree Exit), follow the signs to Figtree down the Princes Highway and it is on the left hand side. If you pass Westfield Figtree (you've gone too far!).
The first match is at 1:30pm (Under 15's) and 2:45pm (Under 18's).
Get out there and see the future!
Thanks to the Illawarra AFL and ACTWAFL for hosting this representative match. In 2009 we've managed four representative teams (NSW State Seniors, SWAFL Rookies, NSW U18's and NSW U15's).
