The Beyond 90 podcast crew of Eric, Cheryl and a belated Dale are joined by uber guests – dual W-League champion and 100+ gamer Rhali Dobson, plus Matildas & Junior Matildas Assistant Team Manager/Kit Manager Jen Willmott.
Jen and Rhali chat about their friendship, football memories, influences and dreams before they jump into the week in football.

NWSL Challenge Cup
The Portland Thorns defeated Gotham FC on Sunday morning with Christine Sinclair and Carli Lloyd scoring in regular time before the match was settled over penalties (6-5).
The regular season kicks off Saturday, May 15th.
NPLW
Eric gives a super-fast wrap up of some NPLW and I’m beginning to think it needs it’s own show.
Queen of the Week
The name has stuck. Jen picks about five Queens of the week which sounds like a full house, Eric always has a few and there’s enough time for Rhali, Dale and Cheryl to add ours before wrapping up the show so Cheryl can finally answer her mum’s phone calls (sorry about that).
Don’t forget we’re live on Facebook on Monday evenings and you can subscribe to the Beyond 90 Podcast on iTunes, Spotify & Google Podcasts or anywhere you listen.
