Simple equation really, the more minutes they play on Saturday in AKL, the less they play on Sunday. Looks like most of them are travelling to Auckland too.
12.15pm official start?? https://wellingtonphoenix.com/fixtures/wellington-phoenix-fc-v-canberra-united-a-league-women-21-01-2023/70aye0a772v3bu2gpytiwgkyc
Surely a player can back up 4 days later. Pros play mid week games all the time.
Playing in Auckland on Saturday mate. So less than 24 hours.
Hasset isn't playing in Auckland
Ah that would make sense then. Considering she didnt go to Perth we are more likely to see her and not Satchell/Wiz then as they would be the Ferns Midfield

Ta. I'll fix the time. I was working off the original draw pdf.
New game brings new hope....today feels like the day...sunny sunshine in the capital perfect for football and players returning from nz camp and will want to prove their worth. Makings for a good day out!
bit of pace with satchel and clegg i like it. Robertson benched crikey not good but hopefully will come on with good attitude and make a difference.
new goalie! happy days!
prediction 1-0 win. Either from a miss hit cross or set piece scramble.
Edwards had no gametime with the AW's so it'll only be travel and training weary - if at all - good on her for wanting to do it. Shame that Candy didnt get a crack.
I think the women’s team needs to move to another pitch tbh…
It makes sense to play at the same location as there are benefits to the double header, the problem is the pitch is also way too big for the mens team.

tachnically the "pitch" is the correct size as required by the laws of the game.....the ground is the wrong shape for football but again it is all we have.
Very positive start. Lots of good hussle on defence and interplay on attack. Also doing a lot more running at defenders that I remember is doing. Let’s hope we can turn it into goals.
Pritchard - fudgeing donkey! lovely pass, she does all the hard work to round the keeper, although the first touch was heavy, still had time to settle and pass it into goal. Instead she's lost her feet and hit it wide.
