Tough gig for any 19 year old, first professional contract not been at home in trying conditions. Hope she manages to get herself right with family at home and hopefully the club gets the team to play at home next season which will make life so much easier for the kiwi women.

Hopefully yes they can play a number of games in NZ, next season. But from memory a condition of entry for Nix Women is they must be based in Aus for these first few seasons at least. The cost of flying other ALW teams to NZ being too expensive for the A League Women overall budget. Something like that.

And if so, will mean the team will always be unattractive to play for, if you have a good job in NZ you don't want to give up, or like Longo have family, ie older domestic based players. So it will likely continue to be a pretty young team. But playing some games in NZ would still be much better than the current situation of none.
