NPL NSW Women’s
With the popularity of Women’s football growing by the second, NSW’s prestigious NPL NSW Women’s competition was set to be one of the best yet.

A number of W-League and Australian international stars were on show, with the Blacktown Spartans in particular showcasing two footballers that went on to represent Australia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, in the shape of Kyra Cooney-Cross and Courtney Nevin.
Even one of Australia’s most decorated female footballers, Lisa De Vanna, was part of the setup, having signed up with APIA Leichhardt.
The competition commenced a little later than usual, due to teams having several players involved in the W-League, but, as the season wore on, Sydney Olympic threw out the challenge, leading the pack after 12 rounds.
Northern Tigers, Macarthur Rams, APIA Leichhardt and Sydney University SFC closely followed but, as was the case for all of football, the competition was officially cancelled prior to Round 13.
NPL 2 NSW Women’s
The NPL 2 NSW Women’s competition was primed to be one of the fiercest leagues yet, as 11 clubs locked horns in the pursuit of Premiership and Championship success.
Prior to the leagues shutting down before Round 12, it was Nepean FC that took pole position, in front of heavy favourites Northbridge Bulls, St George FC, SD Raiders, and the Marconi Stallions.
