A-League Women Round-Up: Casey Dumont haunts Melbourne Victory as Central Coast and Newcastle Jets make finals history
ABCThe 2023/24 elimination final have served up all the drama and chaos that the A-League Women has become known for, with both games needing extra-time — as well as one penalty shootout — to decide which teams are through to the semifinals. The Central Coast Mariners, who re-entered the A-League Women this year, have now won their first finals game in history, and will face Sydney FC in the two-legged play-off starting this weekend. Newcastle Jets make history as club teeters off the field Following a mid-season coaching change and years on the brink of bankruptcy, and with finals history leaning heavily against them, the Newcastle Jets faced a huge task as they took on last season's grand finalists Western United in the first elimination final on Saturday. Box-office Sarina Bolden proves her worth When the 2023/24 A-League Women season kicked off, Philippines striker Sarina Bolden — who had made history by scoring the country's first-ever goal at the Women's World Cup last year in their first win against New Zealand — was unemployed. Unlike the A-League Men, which has two games shown on television per round, none of the women's games — not even the finals series — would be on the telly for casual viewers to watch.
