Just some confirmation of fixture details for the WNPL grand finals this week. Our senior women - who qualified for the grand final two weeks ago - will be playing against Greater Geelong Galaxy at 5:00PM this Sunday at Hume City's ABD Stadium. Geelong reached the grand final by defeating Calder 3-1 on Saturday.
Our under 18s have also reached the grand final - by defeating Bulleen 3-2 at Lakeside on Saturday - and they will also be playing on Sunday at Hume, with their match kicking off at 2:00PM.
In terms of venue selection, it's hardly my cup of tea, but it is pretty standard procedure and 'what else we can do' anyway? I'm looking forward to the trip out there, and hopefully a few South fans - even those who may not have seen much of our WNPL teams this year - make the trip out there to support our teams.
It's been a solid year back in the Victorian top tier for our women's teams, with the only hiccups being an unlucky exit in the cup and a slightly wobbly start to the league campaign. Having if not quite steamrolled over the rest of the league on their way to finishing top of the table than at least come pretty close, hopefully our senior women can take the win here so as to leave no doubt about who was best in 2017
Plus one assumes Lisa De Vanna will be back in the starting lineup after missing our last game because of Matildas commitments, and De Vanna alongside Melina Ayers is great to watch, the veteran and the young up and comer.
I mean, what else are you going to do, stay home and watch rugby league? Exactly.

If I hadn't pre-booked tickets to ACMI's Studio Ghibli season I'd be there for the seniors game. Terrible clash!
ReplyDeleteThere were some earlier films in that season that I wanted to see but unfortunately too many clashes.
DeleteToo many of the sessions in the extended season are daytime during the week.
DeleteACMI also has commitment to the Czech Slovak Film Festival, which has a lot of the primetime slots, that the Ghibli extension has to work around.
The thing that bothers me most is that they put a lot of the films on at awkward times like 5:00 or 6:00. Why not 7:30 or 8:00 to give people from the suburbs a chance to into the city?
DeleteAlso personally annoyed that their emphasis in the extended season is on playing films that have been on TV heaps of times instead of the lesser known works.
Have seen plenty of the Ghibli catalogue over the years, but the 3 films I've attended thus far, and the 1 still to come, will all be first viewings for me. Really enjoying this opportunity.
DeleteMissed the season launch as I was in Japan, but I was lucky enough to spend a few hours at the Ghibli Museum while in Tokyo.
