Female soccer players sought
A NEW era is dawning at the Atherton Eagles Football Club, which is reintroducing its first women’s team in five years.

The club is very excited to be fielding a junior girl’s and women’s team in 2027 and is putting a call out to all Tablelands women who want to give the sport a go to attend a come and try day this Thursday.
The club is looking for any females born before 2014 to come along and meet the players, coaches and managers and enjoy a kick-around on the fields.
“Whether you’re young or older, new to the sport or have some experience already, we’d love to meet you,” the club said.
The come and try day will be held at the Atherton International Club soccer grounds from 5.30pm-7pm this Thursday.
