ROUND 5 WAFLW PREVIEW v SWAN DISTRICTS

SOUTH Fremantle’s female football teams are back at Fremantle Community Bank Oval this Sunday for a full set of fixtures against Swan Districts.

The Bulldogs played their first ever away game in the WAFL Women’s competition last Saturday at Leederville Oval, losing to Subiaco but kicking multiple goals in a game for the very first time.

South Fremantle now returns home to Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Sunday afternoon with the Bulldogs hosting last year’s Grand Finalists Swan Districts from 1pm.

The WAFLW contest will be fixtured in the middle of a big day of action with the Reserves match getting underway at 11.30am while the Youth Girls Rogers Cup match up will begin after the league match at 3pm.

The Bulldogs are still yet to come close to a win in the WAFLW competition, but after starting off the season with scoreless performances against East Fremantle and Peel Thunder, they did score one goal against Claremont and then two last week against Subiaco.

So they are showing signs of improvement but Sunday afternoon will be another significant test against a Swan Districts team who reached the Grand Final last year and need to win this game to maintain their place in the top four.

South Fremantle has made seven changes to the side that lost to Subiaco last Saturday morning at Leederville Oval.

Emily Boothman, Ebony Clarkson, Tara Garlett, Zoe Huggett, Ebony Humble, Chae-Lee Salbie and Poppy Stockwell are the players to come in for the Bulldogs. Stockwell is fresh off kicking six goals in the Youth Girls Rogers Cup win over Subiaco last Friday night.

Milla Bickmore, Darcy Clements, Hannah Felton, Mel Silcock, Chloe Taylor, Maya Tyrrell and Sarah Wright are the players to go out of the South Fremantle line-up.

Swan Districts has made two changes to its side with Courtney Lindgren and Ashley Sharp coming in at the expense of Bianca Webb and Shannon Matthews.
