West Australian Manrays on Football West TV
Check out Football West TV this week for the clip on the West Australian Manrays women’s football team in their last kick out prior to leaving for Italy.
The World Masters Games beckons for the 16 player squad.
The ladies, from all over WA, are gelling together neatly and shaping into the formidable force they have been for the last 20 years.
The squad travelling to Italy is:
Penny Tanner Hoath (Melville City Premier), Di Reeves (Leeming Division 1), Tina Glasson and Sylvia Jenkins (Mandurah Metro), Mhairi Glover, Wendy Peace, Mandy Laing, Sandra Szopski, Kerry Henry (Subiaco State League Division 1 and Metro), Elaine Anderson, Jayne Spalding, Lorraine Connop, Janet Robins (Hay Park), Shea Parker (Capel Wolves), Deb Farrell (Bunbury Dynamos and Force).
Some of the players to watch out for are…
Tina Glasson from Mandurah is an absolute bundle of energy. A farmer by day, Mandurah Metro player and Mother of 3, Tina is the teams road runner. With a David Beckham like work ethic, she is likely to be one of WA team’s top goal scorers in Italy.
Mhairi Glover (maiden name Angus), from Subiaco’s State League squad, is the team’s Scottish Aussie powerhouse. With great strength and passing, Mhairi is a challenge to stop in the attacking half.
Deb Farrell (maiden name Eve) has come into a new lease of footballing life this year. Debs Coaches and plays for Bunbury’s local powerhouse Dynamos, plus is dual registered for The Bunbury Forum Force in the Perth State League Division One. As a midfielder she has terrific vision and an eye for a great pass. This will be a key in unlocking some of the top teams the Manrays will come against such as Canada and Japan.

The 2012/13 Westfield W-League was a historic one for Perth Glory as the WA team made the finals for the first time in its history. The new-look Kelme-designed purple and white strip was a hit with fans and was on show in every home match, where the Glory was undefeated during the league season. Matildas star Kate Gill returned from a serious knee injury to take out the W-League Golden Boot award and was instrumental in the team’s success in reaching the semi-finals. This shirt has been signed by the newly appointed Matildas co-captain. The pink and purple shirt is a separate item for sale.

Perth Glory’s annual National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) fundraiser match has been running since season one after the passing of the mother of inaugural player Danielle Calautti. The 2012/13 Westfield W-League season saw kit provider Kelme design a special pink and purple version of the shirt with support of the NBCF and Football Federation Australia. A massive crowd was on hand for the broadcast match where Rosie Sutton starred on her starting debut with a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Sydney FC. Up for grabs is Shawn Billam’s shirt from the match, who came on as a substitute for Marianna Tabain late on.
