The Australian 25.10
S.Buckingham-Jones has reported "In the northern suburbs of Sydney, a sporting shift is under way". The first Syd. Private Secondary Girls AF comp. has been established, with 7 new teams initially: Mont Sant'Angelo, Queenswood, Ravenswood, Abbotsleigh, Pymbal Ladies, St Catherines, Brigadine St Ives.
The plan is eventually to have a Private Secondary Girls' AF Comp. to include "all Private Girls schools in NSW".

Did manage to get a copy on screen initially and I should have hit "Print Screen" in WIN10 to get a copy on one drive.
Well something is happening up in Sydney - The Journo said a sporting shift -How big a shift will it turn out to be is the question.
Sydney is a big area and the Northern Suburbs just one part of it so I think we have to be bit cautious at this time with our predictions.
Did a bit of research on Private Schools in NSW =The Schools we picked out only enrolled Females across the State.
There were a total of 50 that were in this category, and some of them had at least 1000 students. Do we assume this is the target group for AFLNSW - They clearly said -All Private Girls Schools In NSW, and of course that means considerable resources need to be developed.
There were also many many Private Colleges/Schools that were Co-Ed in NSW, which would have big numbers of Girls.
Either way heaps of potential in the future - If they are not all playing Soccer Football, Netball, Womens Hockey, Basketball etc.
Did a quick look at at Pymble Ladies College current football type sports.
Soccer Football -Rugby 7`s -new, Touch Football, Futsal and to be added Australian Rules Football- Full contact.
This is definitely a breakthrough when the full list of Sports being offered at these schools is shown.
Any comments on this move by our game.
