  • This weekend saw an unprecedented three goalkeepers make their W-League debuts with Alyssia Harris (Sydney FC), Melissa Maizels (Canberra United) and Hannah Southwell (Newcastle Jets) all assuming the No.1 for their first time. It was also a tough weekend for the Keeper's Union with two goalkeepers (Brianna Davey and Casey Dumont) substituted for the first time

  • As well has being part of a historic weekend for goalkeepers, Jets' custodian Hannah Southwell created some history all of her own as she became the youngest ever goalkeeper, at 15 years and 7 months, to don the gloves.  A Mini Matilda, Southwell beats out the previous youngest Casey Dumont (16 years and 9 months) by a full year.

  • At the opposite of end of the age records this weekend was Adelaide United captain Kristy Moore.  With her brace on the weekend, the indefatigable Moore became the oldest ever W-League goalscorer at 37 years and 8 months beating out fellow South Australian Sharon Black by one month.
