Yorga match to promote reconciliationFriday, July 8, 2016 - 3:41 PM

This Saturday the WA Women's Football League and WA Football Commission will host the fourth Yorga’s Koodjal Kadadjiny "Women’s Two Way Learning Match" at Lathlain Park.

Promoting the mutually respectful relationship between our Indigenous and Non-Indigenous female football players, the Indigenous All Stars vs WAWFL All Stars match was born from an idea by Charlie Headland and Paula Hicks to celebrate indigenous Australian women’s love of playing football and promote reconciliation between all players.

This weekend's game was strategically organised to coincide with the AFL's Multicultural Round, celebrating the contribution multicultural communities have made to the game’s history and welcome new communities to embrace Australia’s game in the future.  Many Cultures, One Game.

Once again, both the Lil Kickett Memorial Shield (awarded to the winning team) and Sharon Woods Best on Ground Medal will be highly sought after alongside with bragging rights.

Bounce down will take place at 5pm, with a gold coin donation requested for entry.
