Canberra United's Grace Gill

The camera never lies, well this one did. Apologies for the shot but Grace Gill pictured here with Christine Ng and Doug Gibbs in the background is looking a little bit concerned about the initial question from the Awesome Foursome on this weeks Nearpost Radio show.

But Grace soon had us running round in circles as the talented defender swotted us away like flies.

Grace not only handled "the lads," Canberra's finest football interviewers with, dare I say ease, but her skill and knowledge made for great radio. Thanks Grace, the mood in the sheds after the game was that we'd been well beaten on the day, but we'd enjoyed it anyway!

Grace a natural talent off the field, added to her playing record suggests she will be a wonderful asset to the newly formed Canberra United in the upcoming season.

Grace, a defender, who played with former Nearpost host Nicole Somi and new United signing striker Sash McDonnell in the Youth World Cup in Russia in 2006 is excited to be back at the elite level.

She misssed out on promotion to the full Matildas for last years World Cup and, like many other young players, had nowhere to go to continue her elite football development.

Well she does now and she is clearly delighted by the opportunity the National Women Leagues provides plus the chance to work with Assistant Matildas Coach Robbie Hooker and appeared delighted by the quality of player already signed.
