Our amazing AllAge Ladies team
💙💛***LADIES ON A ROLL💃🏻***💛💙
Our All Age Ladies team are having a blast of a season!
They opened the season with a loss on day 1 and from there they dusted themselves, got back into it and worked hard in training, with ups and downs along the way.
Their form in the last 4 games is impressive with 3 convincing wins and 1 draw 👏💪
Last night they had a very impressive game against a quality Newbury Bulls team. 🤩
The match had a tense finals feel about it with the girls showing a real fighting spirit, a well executed game plan and secured a 2-1 victory. 😎
Goals by Hosna and Rayann were fantastic! Player of the Match was Joy having a powerful game as right fullback.💃🏻 all the girls were simply amazing 💙💛
Congratulations ladies and well done to all players, team coach and club president Noel Dona.
This team is climbing the ladder and last night they made a very BIG statement!.
Ladies.. you have set your selves as an inspiration to all the young players and the club.
From the Waratah family, we are very proud of each one of you😍💪👏
Waratah Family watch our girls as they are doing us proud.✅
2022 Rule Changes
Updated 12-Apr-2022.
There have been some significant rule changes for the 2022 season. You can find the current (2022) full field laws of the game here.
A summary of the changes is available here. The offical page for the changes is here and includes a presentation with videos that helps explain.
It seems the main changes of interest to us are around hand balls. In particular, around when an accidental hand ball is considered a foul. Various things that might have been considered a hand-ball last year no longer are! But, if an attacker scores “immediately” after an accidental handball – it is always a foul (no goal). In the latter case “immediately” does depend a bit on the ref and what actually happens. It does depend a lot on the view the ref gets. For players, as always, keep your hands a close to your body as practical and you have less chance of issues.
Minor changes to other rules, e.g. “offside”: the lower part of the arm is no longer considered. Also – If you try to use a “trick” to send the ball back to the keeper in breach of the rules, then you could get a yellow card.
