The Rogers’ 20/20 Cup competition is a pre-season development tool to assist clubs in recruiting brand new players to the game as well as players transitioning from district and school competition. The Cup is run in the spirit of development and provides a safe and fun environment for females to test drive senior competition. The Cup further provides for club development in the non-playing segments of the game by providing means and opportunity for newly accredited coaches, umpires and sport trainers to put their skills into practice under the watchful eye of mentors. Stay tuned for more info on non-player participation options and incentives.

The Cup kicks off the weekend of 25 February, 2012.

The growth of women’s football in Western Australia was on display for all to see at the weekend, with the WAWFL’s two newest sides squaring off in Division Two.

The Mt Lawley Hawks and the SNESA Angels both joined the league in 2011, offering improved female football pathways in the East Perth and Perth districts respectively and taking the total number of WAWFL clubs to nine.

The South Fremantle Women’s Football Club (SFWFC) has fought back against cancer by participating in the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life last month.

It was the first time the club has been involved in the annual event held at the Athletics Stadium, which gives the community a chance to get together and help celebrate cancer survivors and remember loved ones.

TAKE US FOR A TEST DRIVE! >>>

The Rogers' Cup targets potential WAWFL players from two stages of development:

- those considering a transition from district youth and schools girls programs, and

- those who've never played the game before.  

The Cup is an opportunity for females who may be a little trepidatious about playing senior compeition football to 'take us for a test drive'!
