Round 5 of the Westfield W-League kicks-off this weekend when, for the first time, Melbourne Victory take on Newcastle Jets on an artificial pitch. After having their Match of the Round moved due to poor pitch conditions at Bob Jane Stadium to the Veneto Club in Bulleen, the Victory will be playing for Victorian pride when they take on the Newcastle Jets at 2pm.
Don-t miss a minute of the action when league leaders, Brisbane Roar, host this week-s ABC televised game of the week. Top-of-the-table Roar face a tough test when the girls from the west, Perth Glory, come over to take on the inaugural champions.
Then it-s off to Canberra where Central Coast Mariners take on local girls Canberra United in another Westfield W-League first with the game set to be played for the time in Canberra Stadium – a curtain raiser for the Hyundai A-League clash between Central Coast Mariners v Adelaide United.
On Sunday it-s back to Sydney for a second double header when Sydney FC takes on Adelaide United in the Westfield W-League and Sydney FC play Wellington Phoenix in the Hyundai A-League.
This is the Official Preview for Round 4 of the Westfield W-League. Please note that squads are subject to change.
