Matildas

Western United’s Chloe Logarzo is back in the Matildas squad for the upcoming Olympic qualifiers against Uzbekistan. It represents a return to Matildas’ camp for the first time since November 2022 and is just reward for Logarzo following the journey that she has been on the last 18 months. After a cruel spell of injuries saw her miss out on last year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup, Logarzo has returned to top form. Through 14 appearances this A-League women season, Western United’s co-captain has been one of the best players in the competition, scoring five goals and providing two assists.

VTCA

Bellbridge’s dream run in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 competition is over. After winning their first final in the shortest format, the Bears were knocked out for Roxburgh Park last Tuesday. The Falcons made 8-129 from their overs, with the Bears falling just short, finishing 7-125.Amari Ebbin top scored for the Bears with 52.

VPL

Werribee City started the Victorian Premier League 1 competition in winning fashion. Facing North Geelong Warriors, who have dropped a division, the Bees scored twice in the opening half to take the ascendancy of the match. A third goal in the second half sealed the 3-0 win. Ibrahim Mohamed, Thomas Bliss and Dante Siccita were the goal scorers. Werribee City faces Caroline Springs George Cross on Saturday night in round two.

Western United

Aimee Medwin will give Western United a significant boost for the remainder of the A-League women season after rejoining the club. Medwin made an immediate impression in her nine appearances for Western United last season before her campaign was cruelly cut short by an ACL injury. The 24-year-old has remained in connection with the club throughout her rehabilitation program and is now ready to step back into her number five jersey alongside her teammates.
