The Illawarra women's team will be launched on Thursday, Dec 3 on the beautiful grounds of the University of Wollongong campus. All are invited to come and see history in the making. Any interested women who is thinking of playing or getting involved generally are especially welcome.
The Launch is to raise the profile of this group regionally and we have signalled this as our major media event for the second day of our Sydney Swans visits as part of the Telstra AFL Community Camps. Sydney Swans Players attending include : Lewis Roberts-Thompson, Mike Pyke, Ted Richards.
Illawarra Women's players and Illawarra Youth Girls Players will be present as will the president of the Uni AFL Club - Lee Murray, Illawarra Youth Girls Managers - Dawn Giffin and Michelle Boorman and representatives of the Wollongong Lions AFC.
So in essence this is a chance to highlight this opportunity to the ladies of the Illawarra region and to signal the arrival of Women's AFL in the region. The venue will be the University of Wollongong Sportshub located inside the campus at 2:15pm.
Major thanks to Dave Johnson of the Illawarra AFL for assistance of this story.
