    Agree Governess, good choices as coach, but also surprised Tommy didnt get it again, maybe busy with younger teams??? Hopefully all players will put their hands up and stand for selection and kick some southern butt?

    My team, supposing a standard (boring) 4-4-2 (which the south will also play, as usual)???

    GK - Pooley
    Def - R. Hughes, Hingston, C. Eaves, Luck
    Mid - Ambrose, Baker, Howe, Lo
    For - Roach, McKenna
    Subs - B. Eaves, Bremner, Sessay, K. Johnson, C. Smith

    Emergencies - A. Smith, Claxton, Gratton, Beardwood

    Probably a tad too many Rangers in there, but forgive me, as i see them every week, others Bobby Eaves, Campbell from River, Scilino, Budgeon, Ashely Smith, Kaimon Johnson, Sessay, Baker, Mann, Gibson from Burnie so there are a few to go for. Doubt Derek Schipper will be interested seem mainly focussed on club stuff these days.

    It's good to see your comments Striker04 it shows someone actually cares about the womens game.
    As coach of the womens Northern team I have been and watched a lot of games this season (all teams)not just when my team is playing, it's been a good insight as to how other teams play against each other, so when I pick my Squad it wont be only based on how players have performed against my team,but others as well, I'll be picking players on form not name, I do like your inclusions of the young one's, is there anyone else out there who has a team they think should be the one,?

    From FFT website:

    North v South Representative matches

    Women's Match - 3:15pm ( after the A-League match )

    Great to see the women playing after the A-league match! It would have made more sense to play the A League match at 3:15 as unfortunately, many will just go straight home after the A league game. Surely it could have been thought out better!!
    After all i suppose, we are dealing with FFT!!!!

    Shano agreed this is a great result for Women's football! However do not go baggging the FFT - if it was not for their assistance / persistance it would not have happened - instead of knocking the FFT on this - why not stand up and support them for they do to help the the game overall. This is a great achievement the FFT has given the Girls - instead of going straight home after the main game - stay and watch what the girls have to offer - you will be surprised!

    fresh from a stint overseas i'll have a crack at naming a side that will towel up the southerners - just an aside Rangers Pres, quality side you guys have got (no doubt) but not many even in the squad...don't want to be seen playing favourites i spose.!

    GK: Pooley (no question) but why is the River keepeer in the squad? Beardwood having another great yr!

    DF: C.Eaves Luck R. Hughes K. Johnston

    MF: Ambrose Howe Hingston Mulraney (not in squad but scoring goals in the league and runs all day)

    FD: McKenna Sessay

    Bench: TT, Bremner (not in squad??), Roach, S.Hughes

    Yeah Twang, guess the idea was to get peope from all clubs involved first, once we ascertain who is in and out, we then will fill the gaps if needed with uninvited players. Good to have all clubs involved, so you may well see Mr Bremner bob up in squad in next week or 2.

    "we" - are you a selector?

    i agree that every club should be given the opportunity to be represented but when it comes to the team surely the best players should be selected regardless of their club...after all, once in the northern colours you're representing the northern league first and your club second.

    as for uninvited players, i have already heard that quite a few players have declined the invitation, so there are (more than likely) going to be more players invited (quite a few that should've been in the original squad)

    the best players nearly always get asked, but rarelly turn up.it will be the same this year as last we'll patch a team together. no-one wants to do it any more apart from the select few.

    Striker04,just waiting for one club for it's players to accept or decline the invitations all others have accepted this exciting challenge for the womens game.Soon as I know i'll put it out there, I won't wait to long though.
    I would like to announce John Crooks (Rangers) as my assistant,his committment to improving recognition of the womens game, especially this Aurora game is unchallenged.

    Did they have 16 at training last week for the rep side?
    Its the same old story, the best players don't put their hands up which is poor. I can understand in some regards, as its alot of travel committment for training when you only play 2/3 games for nothing really. The South have it easy as everyone is close to each other!
    Rangers Pres, surely the coach didnt pick the entire squad himself as he wouldnt know many players names. You must have had some minor input or did the coaches nominate players like last year? I have heard of a few names and i am suprised by some selections as there are better players in some teams who missed out!

    Congratulations to all girls in the Squad for the Northern Team. Good luck with your first training this weekend. All of these girls are worthy and there are many more out there. A special mention goes out to Coach Stewart & Assistant John, who fought hard to get the Aurora Stadium game. These girls are lucky to have you both. Also on the staff is Donna (sports trainer) & Ange (Team Manager) a change is coming and there is exiting times ahead for Womens Football. Good Luck to you all and lets promote this event as much as we can. I hope there will be more publicity for all games, men & women.

    I stumbled on this blog by accident, but pleased that I did. We need to encourage other supporters of soccer to take a look. Clubs/coaches should give the address out to encourage players to have a say and know what is going on. To the Governess, you have done a brilliant job and your hard work is appreciated. Lets get the word out there!!
