This Sunday marks the beginning of the first-ever North vs South Women’s Series with Game 1 taking place at Southern Lions RUFC from 3pm as part of a double-header.
The Force are also excited to confirm all kick-off times for all three games, with one change in venue.
The three-game women’s pathway series is geared towards identifying and developing the top female talent across Western Australia, providing meaningful and high-quality match opportunities with a view to transitioning into the Force’s 2026 Super Rugby Women’s side.
The seven Fortescue Women’s Premier Grade clubs have been split into two regions, with Wests Scarborough, Wanneroo and UWA representing the North and Palmyra, Southern Lions, Kalamunda and Cottesloe representing the South.
The squads have been training for the past seven weeks in the lead-up to the three-game series.
The opening game of the series will be played at Southern Lions RUFC’s Success Regional Sporting Facility, as part of a double-header alongside the Force taking on the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby Men’s U16s from 1pm on Sunday 19 October.
The second game has been moved from Cottesloe to Perth Bayswater on Saturday 25 October, with kick-off at 11am.
The third and final game will be hosted by Wanneroo Rugby Union Club at Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex on Saturday 1 November from 12pm.
