The 2011 W-League Grand Final brought to our attention a newspaper report that Tom Sermanni had been in attendance. Good Grief …. of course the coach of the Australian national girls team, the Matildas, would be there.
Last year, he accepted the invitation to attend the Final Series of the Bill Turner Trophy in Newcastle, NNSW. Tom attended the semi-finals and his enthusiasm grew as the afternoon progressed. Most of the BTT executive believe that he hadn’t know of the quality of the players that are found in the competition.
This seemed correct when he stated that he would be back to see the Final and 3rd place playoff the next evening. We also heard that he sent a list of names to W-League clubs for their attention.
Tom Sermanni smiled broadly when he was invited to return to the 2011 Final Series on Sept 6 and 7. We hope he will once again be impressed by the female soccer stars of the future.
