"I have come to Annerley after heading upsenior Women's Football at BaysideUnited for the past 2 seasons. I have beenmade to feel very welcome, and the clubhas put together a great coaching teamand support network for women'sfootball. No wonder Annerley has such a

great reputation!! We have had a good pre-season, although notwithout its challenges. The continuous competition restructuresare affecting women's football remarkably, and it has seen us loseplayers who would otherwise love to be playing here.The over allocation of NPL licences has created a vacuum of qualitygirls, but we have been lucky in building a strong squad and ourongoing relationship with the local NPL licensee (Olympic FC)create significant long term opportunities We are well prepared for round 1, coming off the back of anundefeated pre-season for the Division 1 side which culminated inwinning the BWPL Reserves Invitational Trophy.We do have a substantial number of girls out this week thoughdue to injury and being away, caught out by the staggered start tothe season. >>>

Assistant Coach: Sean Jenkins (Canadian notAmerican)

BWPL Coach: Anthony Costa (FFA Senior Football License)

"Anyone else see the striking

resemblance between the

coach and I?"

>>>

Ipswich were the BWPL premiers last yearand have stepped back a division this year,so we are prepared for a tough encounterfirst up. They will be a quality side, and no

matter how much they try to play themselves down, we will nottake them lightly. It should be a good contest.With all the hard work done so far and the quality across boththe squad, coaching and support staff, I truly believe in ouroutfit, think we should get a hard fought result today and expectwe should be in the mix come the end of the season."

"Time for kickoff! The season is upon us and Anthony, Michaeland I have worked hard with the ladies to hit the groundrunning. As a newbie to the Annerley family I’d like to introducemyself. I have extensive playing history in Canada and Australia,but this is my first real coaching experience, as well as myintroduction to women’s football. For this reason I am delighted

to have the opportunity to commence my education with Annerley FC! We have animmensely talented and industrious squad to work with and our pre-season has been verypromising. I am looking forward to seeing all of that hard work expressed on the pitch. Thecoaches all share a common vision of the sport and look forward to an intelligent andattacking game today. Having such talented players means we can showcase a lot of tacticalflexibility in our game plan, so don’t be surprised to see some familiar players pop up inunpredictable roles! The ladies have all worked incredibly hard this preseason and I knowyou will be as impressed with their teamwork, graft, and skill as we have been. Onwards!"

"2015 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for Annerley's BWPLand Division 1 teams. We have a number of new players joining ourdivision 1 team, including a couple of players from our last year’sdivision 3 team. We also have a few players who have stepped up andare currently in our BWPL team. Our BWPL and Division 1 team havebeen working as a squad during pre-season and will continue to doso throughout the year. There is a new coaching structure for bothour top two women's teams for this year, and it has been very pleasing to see the players working hard in pre-season as they continue to improveweek by week, learning our new structures and systems. Here's to a cracking 2015season!"
