Inaugural AFL Sydney Women's Squad Announced

The inaugural AFL Sydney Women’s Representative squad has been announced for the upcoming two match series against AFL Canberra.

Initially an extended 70 player squad was selected based on 2014 form combined with feedback from each club coach. The extended squad has had two training sessions which has allowed the coaching staff to look over the players and allowed the squad to be narrowed down.

Selecting the final squad proved very difficult with the coaching staff extremely impressed with what they have seen so far and are very excited not only about the upcoming 2 match series but also the next few years of women’s football in Sydney.

The squad will train again this Sunday with the Game 1 team (24 plus 1 emergency) selected next week. The squad will train on Thursday night at BISP Number 1 and then to travel to Canberra for the match on Saturday 7^th June.

Game 2 will be played at Blacktown International Sportspark on Saturday 5^th July at 12pm.

The selected squad is:

Lael Kassem	Auburn	Rachel Stack	Sydney University
