It is an honour to raise the remarkable growth of women's football, particularly following the success of the Southern Districts Football Association's Catherine Cannuli Cup on 5 September 2024. Last year's event, one of the largest yet, showcased the talent and determination of junior and senior school teams from across the South-West region. Named in tribute to Catherine Cannuli, a distinguished Matilda and A-League Women's player, the competition highlights the immense contributions of female athletes and coaches. Catherine's ongoing role as SDSFA's Women's Technical Director continues to inspire future generations. I was thrilled to see Leppington electorate schools, including Greenway Park and Middleton Grange, take part, with Greenway Park Public School emerging undefeated. Their incredible performance – 21 goals scored, just one conceded – speaks to the skill, teamwork, and resilience young women bring to the game. This event celebrates excellence, encourages community spirit, and empowers young women. Thank you to all who made it a success—the future of women's football is bright.
