Quote: | As women’s football in Tasmania grows the future stars of New Norfolk District Junior Football Club have begun their journey at Boyer Oval. New Norfolk are also looking to field a side in the inaugural Southern Football League Women’s league season.
The SFLW Lightning Carnival that ran on Saturday March 4th was dubbed a “Come and Try” event which saw four clubs able to field sides. New Norfolk unfortunately unable to field a side as they were still searching for players.
The future for the club is a bright one at Youth Girls level, with many girls turning for the club to begin learning the skills of the game. Last year the STJFL kicked off the Youth Girls leagues on the back of the success of the Women’s Exhibition Games between the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne.
From there women’s football has begun to grow including a growth in Tasmania, with come and try events around the state well participated in. The STJFL Youth Girls Development Series last season saw some great skills on show from girls finally able to get a kick in their own league. |
