World Footy News

The brand new season for AFL London got under way last weekend with two huge magnets dominating the program. The Premiership League kicked off with a grand-final replay between the West London Wildcats and the Wandsworth Demons. Equally exciting was the first women’s match in the AFL London competition when the South East London Giants took on the North London Lions.

 

The following reports from the AFL London website give the details of the weekend’s matches.

Round 1 Women’s Results:

The first ever game of Women’s Aussie Rules in London was held on Saturday. It’s the South East London Giants Versus the North London Lions.  A great game was played in very good spirits, and the Giants were too slick and well drilled for a Lions team that were a little short on numbers on the day.  A great effort by all involved and a very good start to the first ever AFL London Women’s competition
