It might have taken three weeks but South Fremantle made history at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Sunday with Chloe Taylor kicking the Bulldogs' first goal in the WAFL Women's competition.

South Fremantle created another slice of history scoring their first ever WAFL Women's goal on Sunday but in the end it was Claremont who continued their impressive start to the 2020 season.

It had been tough going for South Fremantle in the opening two weeks of the 2020 Optus WAFL Women's Premiership Season with the Bulldogs having just been granted entry to the competition as the sixth club in the second year of its existence.

IT was a hard fought contest as expected but South Fremantle managed to maintain an edge the whole way to beat Claremont by eight points at Fremantle Community Bank Oval to continue the unbeaten start to 2020.

Claremont did manage to work on top briefly with two quick goals to start the second quarter, but South Fremantle were in control for the most part the rest of the way in the battle of two of the remaining undefeated WAFL teams on Saturday.

It also doubled as a rematch of last year's preliminary final which South Fremantle won to advance to the Grand Final, and once again the Bulldogs shook off a tenacious Tigers showing to win, 7.6 (48) to 5.10 (40).

It would be fair to say it's been quite the interesting year for us all so far and from a football sense, I was in the best shape I've been in for years and we were looking great as a team back in March, but now here we are and it's amazing how quickly things feel back to normal.

Going back a few months, we had done the whole pre-season and everyone was fit, happy and healthy, and looking forward to the season. We had just played a scratch match against ourselves on a Friday night and the next week we were going to play the first of two proper pre-season games, and then it would be Round 1 so everything was ready to go.

So we played that Friday night scratch match and everyone was starting to whisper about how the season might get shutdown and everything. Then the next day we got the word that it had been so that was definitely interesting.

SOUTH Fremantle's women will host their third straight game on Sunday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval, this time welcoming Claremont as they begin life in the WAFL Women's competition.

South Fremantle was granted its entry into the WAFL Women's competition just on the eve of the 2020 WAFLW Premiership Season getting underway after being delayed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

It hasn’t been the start to life in the new competition that the Bulldogs wanted with losses at home to East Fremantle and Peel Thunder, but Sunday afternoon presents another opportunity against Claremont.

SOUTH Fremantle has started the 2020 WAFL Premiership Season in fine style but there's no question the biggest test for the Bulldogs yet will come this Saturday at the hands of Claremont.

South Fremantle is back home to play Claremont on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Community Bank Oval in a clash where the two teams come in having won their opening two matches in 2020.

That means that the winner will race out to a 3-0 start and sit clear on top of the WAFL ladder and in the shortened season due to COVID-19, that would put them in a tremendous spot to lay a claim to a place in the finals.

SOUTH Fremantle coach Todd Curley spoke after Saturday's hard fought eight-point victory against West Perth at Joondalup's Provident Financial Oval.

QUESTION: It obviously wasn’t the prettiest game but in a lot of ways a pretty brave win by your team?
ANSWER: I thought we started pretty well and just didn’t take advantage. We kicked 1.5 from set shots in the first quarter and I think they kicked two goals from only three inside 50s to that put us under pressure. And then their pressure was pretty good and they got on top of us for large portions of the game as well, but in the end we hung in and found a way. That's the most important thing.

Q: At this point of the year given the amount of time we've had off are you just happy to take the four points and worry about your game style later on?
A: Well we did play some pretty attractive footy last week and I thought the conditions were pretty tough today for both teams so it was always going to be a bit more of a scrap. In the end we were able to convert when we needed to. No doubt it's important to win because you certainly don't want to be chasing this year and you want to try and be playing from in front both on the scoreboard in games, and on the ladder. To jump out 2-0 is a really pleasing start.

THE scoreboard might not have been ideal again at Fremantle Community Bank Oval for South Fremantle in their second ever WAFL Women's match on Sunday, but the signs are getting better as the Bulldogs adjust to the new level.

It was relatively short warning that South Fremantle received that it would be granted a full license a year earlier than expected to be part of the WAFLW season, and the first two weeks have been challenging but the signs of growth and development are already there.

For the second straight week to open life in the WAFLW competition, South Fremantle did fail to trouble the scorers but that doesn't mean there wasn’t some encouraging individual performers, and some signs that rapid development is happening within the playing group.

GOALS might have been tough to come by on Saturday afternoon, but ultimately South Fremantle continued its good history recently against West Perth and at the Joondalup venue to come away with the hard-earned eight-point victory.

The Bulldogs made it two-from-two to start the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season with the eventual 5.9 (39) to 4.7 (31) victory on Saturday against the Falcons at Joondalup's Provident Financial Oval.

South Fremantle kicked the only goal of the final quarter to come away with the eight-point win to back up the previous Saturday's 95-point victory against East Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval to open the season.

SOUTH Fremantle might not have quite made the debut in the WAFL Women's competition they were hoping for, but it's back to Fremantle Community Bank Oval this Sunday with the Bulldogs hosting Peel Thunder.

The Bulldogs were granted a full license to join the WAFLW competition in 2020 a year earlier than expected only around a month away from the season getting underway, and it's fair to say the Round 1 result wasn’t what anyone was hoping for.

But the fact that South Fremantle now has a team in the competition and can begin to grow and develop is a positive, and there is a real chance to put in a better showing on the field this Sunday against a Peel Thunder team that finished with last year's wooden spoon.
