This weekend, the competition includes a strong contingent of teams from the greater Sydney area as well as teams from New England, Grafton, Port Macquarie, Orange, Dubbo, Parkes, Southern Highlands and the Illawarra.
The competition this weekend is being conducted in three divisions. Goulburn has only one team in the division three section, because our team is a newcomer to the indoor version of the sport.
Like last weekend, the Illawarra is expected to be among the front runners for the championships and if the game is anything like the men’s, it will be highly disciplined with lightning-fast attacks on the goal. Expect stiff opposition from the top metropolitan teams.
The umpires will be under scrutiny of expert coaches, too. It is an opportunity to lift their skills and grading.
