It’s Round 3 of the Westfield W-League and Brisbane Roar and Central Coast Mariners occupy the top of the table.

It’s Round 3 of the Westfield W-League and Brisbane Roar and Central Coast Mariners occupy the top of the table.

But teams are chasing hard and this weekend could see changes at both ends of the ladder.

Catch all the action from the Westfield W-League match of the round when Newcastle Jets take on Sydney FC in the F3 Derby with a feminine touch. Be there, 3pm at EnergyAustralia Stadium or live on ABC1 and ABC HD as Hayley Crawford’s Jets take on the Heather Garriock lead sky blue of Sydney FC.

At Hindmarsh Stadium, Adelaide United host Melbourne Victory in a game the Lady Reds will be desperate to win against the class of Tal Karp and Melissa Barbieri’s Melbourne Victory.

Then it’s across the Nullarbor Plain for Perth Glory’s clash with Canberra United. Canberra might be down on points but with the class in their ranks this is sure to be a furious fixture as young Matildas take on the established might of Collette McCallum’s Perth Glory.

Finally it’s back to Brisbane and to the home of Brisbane women-s football, Ballymore Stadium, in this top of the table clash between inaugural champions Brisbane Roar and the girls from Gosford, Central Coast Mariners. With both teams not shy of scoring a goal this game is shaping up to be a true test of this season-s contenders. Be there at Ballymore for a 6pm kick-off to catch all the action.

This is the Official Preview for the Westfield W-League. Please note that squads are subject to change.
