The New Weddington Warriors put in a solid performance in Round 3 of the AFLW Tipping league, placed 13th out of 47 team (joint 3rd on points) with a remaining rearranged fixture to play tomorrow.
Richmond and Collingwood will meet at Punt Road after the AFLW was forced to make a fixture change because of Victoria’s evolving COVID-19 situation with one game for this weekend still up in the air.
The Tigers were meant to take on West Coast on Sunday in Round 3 of the AFLW season, But the COVID-19 outbreak linked to the Holiday Inn cluster in Victoria has meant they will now take on the Magpies at 3.10pm on Sunday.
West Coast will take on Brisbane at 5.15pm on Monday 15th – a move “being led by, respective government and health officials,” and one that will no doubt impact the players – many of whom have full-time jobs during the week”.
AFL Head of Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said the league would continue to take the advice of governments and health officials as it worked through fixturing for upcoming rounds.
“These continue to be unprecedented times and the fixture this year will continue to respond to and reflect the situation across country,” Ms Livingstone said.
“We will continue to remain adaptable as we listen to and work closely with each stakeholder to ensure the best possible outcome for everyone in the game. While COVID-19 continues to impact the community, the health and welfare of our players and the community remains the priority and we remain committed to delivering a full season in a safe manner anchored in the advice of respective governments, public health officials and medical experts.”
The Women’s League - and the New Weddington Warriors AFLW Team - will be desperately hoping to avoid the coronavirus heartache of last year, which saw the 2020-2021 Season abandoned after 46 games, with no league winner selected.
