Third biannual Yorga Match, Sunday June 1stTuesday, May 27, 2014 - 5:14 PM
This Sunday, 1 June will see the third biannual Yorga’s Koodjal Kadadjiny match “Women’s Two Way Learning Match” to coincide with the AFL Indigenous Round celebrations.
The 2014 game will see the Indigenous All-Stars look for back to back wins after claiming the bragging rights in 2012 against the WA Women’s Football League All-Stars side.
Promoting the mutually respectful relationship between our indigenous and non-indigenous female football players, the match was born from an idea by Charlie Headland and Paul Hicks to celebrate indigenous Australian women’s love of playing football and promote reconciliation between all players.
Following the success of both the 2010 and 2012 matches, the WAWFL again aims to celebrate the passion and skill that our indigenous female footballers bring to the game.
Hosted by the Perth Demons Football Club at Lathlain Park, Sunday’s game is an alcohol, smoke and drug free event, helping to promote a healthy lifestyle whilst encouraging positive and respectful relationships between all Australians.
Run by the WA Women’s Football League, the West Australian Football Commission, Yorga Match Committee and major sponsor; Kooya Consultancy, the 2014 Yorga match is sure to be a huge success with all money raised being donated back into WAFC female indigenous football programs.
Where: Lathlain Park, Goddard St Lathlain
When: 1st June 2:30pm
