Canberrans start for Young Matildas

Christine Walters and Bronywyn Studman both started in the Young Matildas 4-3 loss to Japan yesterday in Canberra. Walters played at right-back and had a particularly strong game according to Coach Alen Stajic. "But," he noted, "both went very well."


The Japanese squad arrived on Saturday and have a large squad. Their younger players defeated Australia Under 17's on Monday and the older players beat the Young Matildas 4-3 on Wednesday.

There is another game for the Young Matildas on Friday at 11am at the AIS.

With the Canberra winter disappearing this week it's a great time to be outdoors playing and wathcing football:)

Coach Alen Stajic is hoping to be appointed Sydney FC W-League Coach. Interviews were held last Monday but the decision has still to be announced.

ACTAS 1 defeated Young Matildas 0 on Thursday night. Alen Stajcic has a lot of work to do just to get them to ACTAS standard let alone international std.
ACTAS had one Matilda and some under 14 players, no reserves.
The girls outplayed the YM across the park.
Maybe YM should look further afield than NSWIS to make the bulk of their squad.
How about some more ACTAS players. Could only improve the side.
