I went to the Wellington United Diamonds v Nix U18s WCL game today (United won 2-1), and the match programme had a little feature on striker Natalie Olson who recently scored her 100th goal for the club.

This bit caught my eye:

A pre-season stint with the Wellington Phoenix this year has whetted her appetite to look for professional opportunities - an aim that had been on hold while she completed a law degree. With that now in the bag, Olson is currently focused on helping Wellington United chase another Central League title and a spot in the National League, before seeing if devoting herself full-time to her footballing passion can further enhance the ability of “Postman Nat”, as she’s known, to keep delivering the goals.

Olson’s currently top of the WCL leaderboard with 17 goals this season, and for all she didn’t add to her tally today she’s obviously the kind of fast, accurate striker we could have done with on the end of Longo’s passes last season. I wonder if her Wellington roots run deep enough to keep her from migrating north or west?

On an unrelated note, I’m pretty sure I saw Bev Priestman at the game today.
