They’re going to have to do some serious work on that Leichhardt Oval pitch if it’s going to survive 6 Unite Round games next week. #aleaguewomen

So typical of Inner West Council to have a goddamn hole in the middle of the pitch for the first home game of the season. Shamefully bad. #aleaguewomen

Yea the women. What an exquisite pass from Indiana dos Santos for Hawkesby’s winner. #sydneyisskyblue #aleaguewomen

Let's go Victory - the ladder for finals can change so much in each game, it's so exciting. Would love to see the Vuck get another cup. #NEWvMVC #MelbourneVictory #ALeagues #ALeagueWomen

At some point the discussion at half time of the matildas games will have discussions about the game rather than “what it means for the game in Australia”. Especially when hardly any of these attendees will probably go see an #aleaguewomen game on the weekend #singwhenyourwinning

Each time I look up there's something else happening in this game! #BRIvNEW #ALW #ALeagueWomen #ALeagues
