Coming off reaching the Grand Final in the Colts last year, Swan Districts has continued that momentum to start the 2019 season.

The WAFLW competition has been launched in 2019 as the start of a new era of female football in Western Australia following on from the success of the AFL Women's competition nationally and what the West Australian Women's Football League has been able to lay the foundations for.
This inaugural season in 2019 will feature five teams and the action got underway on Sunday afternoon with the two teams who played off in the league grand final of the WAWFL competition last year, East Fremantle and Subiaco, proving victorious.
Another step forward for our young group. After controlling the contest for the first half and to lose by 9 points was disappointing, the intent and workrate overall was pleasing for the 4 quarters.
The third quarter let us down as East Perth lifted around the ball and started winning the contested ball, to our credit we fought back into the contest, but again some easy misses in front of goal early Read More [+]
