Getting behind the women's game

 

Written by Sally Shippard - As a proud Westfield Matilda and Canberra United Westfield W-League player, who fully respects the previous champions of our great sport, I was deeply honoured to have been awarded the Julie Dolan medal for the 2011/12 W-League season.

Unfortunately my commitments with Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga prevented me from attending the recent Hyundai A-League & Westfield W-League Awards night, but I cannot express how proud I am to belong to such a fantastic group of people within Canberra United and the Matildas as we continue to champion women’s sport in Australia.

The W-League is the future of women’s football in Australia. It is also the dream of many young girls who want to pursue the journey of "chasing leather" around the world.
