Season 40 Episode 8

Penny Tanner Hoath and Kayla O’Connor lead you through two hours of football this Saturday March 28, 2026.

Football waves goodbye to a women’s soccer pioneer at age 95, in Barbara Gibson; we are figuring out what impact the Asian Cup has on our registrations and what a loss to 5th ranked team Japan by the Matildas means going into a World Cup year in 2027. There’s that little event happening soon called a World Cup (men). Can anyone remember how many countries it’s being played at and is there maybe a few other international events overshadowing that?

The guest lineup this week is -

Ben Smith, The West and Perth Now Journalist. Ben chats Perth Glory and Asian Cup. Adam Taggart becomes Perth Glory’s highest A- League scorer. The Glory women sit mid table with a sniff of finals if they can defeat Brisbane Friday night.

Annie Leyland, Sorrento NPLW Head Coach and Futsal WA Operations Manager. Sorrento are through to the Women’s League Night Series Final and have some serious football growth and stability to brag about since WWC2023.

Lindsay Tacy, Event Chair - Girls Festival of Community Soccer. Details on this year’s event. We find out why it has relocated and is so well supported.

Renae Fussell, Baldivis Districts President and Asian Cup Volunteer Manager. Renae spearheads the only all-female grassroots football club in WA. We chat about the impact of the Asian Cup on local football.

Tom Doleman, Football West match commentator. Wrap of local football, NPL, State League and Night Series.
