The North vs South concept is geared towards identifying and developing the top female talent across Western Australia, providing meaningful and high-quality match opportunities.

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.

Selection will be based on club performances, previous Academy involvements and talent identification from Force and RugbyWA staff.

Teams will be announced in early September, with training to commence on Tuesday 9 September.

Coaches, fixtures and venues will be confirmed in coming weeks.
