THE South Australian National Football League (SANFL) Women’s season got underway last night with North Adelaide defeating Norwood by two points in a Friday night thriller. While the 7.10 (52) to 7.8 (50) clash was fitting of a season opener, there are still three more games to take place today. Two matches kick off from 12pm local time with Central District and Woodville West Torrens up at Elizabeth, while West Adelaide hosts Glenelg in Richmond. Then tonight, South Adelaide faces Sturt in another huge contest at Noarlunga.
Over the preseason, Rookie Me Central has been dedicated to bringing all-round coverage to the competition ahead of it starting, and in case you missed any of it, you can catch up below.
