What a Saturday, five games that could have gone either way, and some fabulous performances from lots of players. I was up at Bounds Green and the Oliver Tambo Recreation Ground, home to the North London Lions and two entertaining games between them and the West London Wildcats, plus a little bit of pre-game Auskick. The opening game saw the table topping Women's Conference North London Lions, with three wins from three going into the game and an improving, hard-working West

Two British players, Lucy Massie and Freya Hibberd, have taken a major step in their AFL journeys after making their VFLW debuts in Round 1 on Saturday 16 May. Their rise from university sport in England to state-level football in Australia is a clear example of the growing pathway between the UK and Australian game. Both players began their AFL journeys at the University of Birmingham. Massie first picked up the sport for fun after competing in athletics and badminton, while

For the first game of the day the Ealing Emus were looking to build on their Week 2 success when they hos

The 25th April (Anzac Day) is always a special day in the calendar for any Australian or New Zealander as they come together to commemorate the lives of soldiers who have fallen in battle. The day itself, for any Brits/RoW's reading this is significant as it marks the day the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli in the First World War. My trip to the London Swans was a privilege as it allowed me to witness the memorial to the fallen and an impeccably observed minutes silence. Last seas

Whilst the Wandsworth Demons Men's Premiership winning side were in Lyon, picking up their third consecutive Champions League title (courtesy of a thrilling extra time win over the Edinburgh Bloods), the West London Wildcats Women's Premiership winners were finishing third in their Champions League competition (behind Cork Vikings - themselves recording a remarkable fifth successive win), and the Wimbledon Hawks women were beating all-comers up in Scotland (Cambuslang Rugby C
