OK, so we've been a bit slack with posting our results... but we're working on the assumption that no one cares but us!!! We'll try to be more consistent!

For details of the games this Sunday, visit the NWSWS Association website.

Also, the Matildas played last Friday, if you have a Facebook account, read about it here.

Take it easy!

Hey Bat Friends,

Due to yet more rain in Sydney this weekend, all the Bats games were cancelled... AGAIN! That's 3 weeks in a row for most of us. Not happy. Still, we organised a kick about in the park before heading to the Barley for a few (too many) beers. Fingers crossed we'll get to play next week.

Matildas News

Matildas to play in Sydney! - The gals will be playing a friendly before the Socceroos vs Ghana game in Sydney at Sydney Football Stadium on May  23. Match starts at 5.15pm EST. Get your tickets here.

 Congratulations to Heather Garriock 7 for her 100th cap! She's the youngest Australian player to reach 100 games for her country (male or female) - so now the Matildas have the most capped footballer (go Cheryl!) and the youngest. Take that Socceroos! OK, so we like the blokes too... just not as much ;-)

Hey Bat Friends,
 
Bat News
 
All is good in Bat land. We have registered 5 teams this year (Divs 2, 5, 8, 10, 11) and guess what, they’re all full! If you’re still keen to play, email info@theflyingbats.com and ask to be put on the waiting list.


Training is underway, for the first time in a lot of years we have a coach (looking after all 5 teams, poor woman!) and we’re all improved with our skills already. We look forward to testing them out when the competition starts next month.

We’ll keep you posted on upcoming games so you can come along and cheer (pom poms are essential!)

Actually, it IS cricket but we had to mention it because the women's game of just about any sport hardly gets in the news. Also, there's a young player in the Australian Women's Cricket team that will, in a few years, have to make a decision. Ellyse Perry is on of Australias brightest young stars and has represented Australia in Cricket and Soccer... I guess you all know which sport we hope she picks!!

Here's some news, in reverse order:

Australia beats England to tie series
Rolton: Perry will have no problems serving up to England
Schoolgirl sensation Perry enjoys the best of both worlds
Bowral set to host the best of women's cricket
Perry leads Aussie women to Twenty20 win
Perry shines on Twenty20 debut
Perry and Blackwell guide Australia to 127
Perry too much for England women
Perry leads Australia to women's Twenty20 win
'Fairytale win' for England's skipper
England beats Aussie women in one-dayer

And there's more... just google Ellyse Perry.

And don't forget, the Bats are now recruiting for the 08 season, so get ur kit on and come play with us!

Hi Bat Friends,
 
Training has been cancelled tonight due to the grounds beinig too wet.
 
Instead, we're headed down to the pub to watch the Socceroos play Qatar in the first of their 2010 World Cup qualifying matches.
 
Get yourself down to the Golden Barley 165-169 Edgeware Rd, Enmore (Cnr Edgeware Rd & Alice St/Llewellyn St). Broadcast starts at 6.30, kickoff at 7.30.
 
If you're keen to play with us this season, we'll also be registering players tonight, as it will be much easier than doing it at training. You'll need to be there from 6.30pm to 8.30pm tonight. (Registration payment is not required yet.)

Also, we'll be selling our world-famous 'I [heart] soccer' t-shirts and new limited edition singlets.

See you there!
