A
new soccer team has formed in the Top End hoping to take on the
Darwin Women’s Premier League.
The Coonawarra Women’s Soccer team, otherwise known as the Coonawarra
Coyotes, has been undergoing a vigorous training regime since
February, as they prepare to take on the Darwin Women’s Premier
League, and any visiting ships or squadrons to the Top End.
AB Sandra Hill took the initiative to start a Darwin women’s soccer
team, which is now 23-women-strong, with a mix of players formed
by Navy, Army, military spouses and civilians.
The team recently tested their skills and player strategies, when
visiting ship, HMAS Tobruk, challenged them to a friendly evening
game.
The match was fast and energetic, but the Coyotes were outnumbered
and outmanoeuvred the Tobruk team, who took control of the game
with a clear win.
Anyone who would like to play with or against the Coyotes should
contact Sandra Hill on (08) 8935 4026.
