Are you a monarchist? What if Julie Dolan was named Queen of the Week? Or Rebekah Stott for that matter? Listen in as guest co-host Fatima Flores, Nordic Steffen, Dale and lockdown 5.0 Cheryl jump into another week of football banter.
Guest: Julie Dolan AM
We’re not sure it gets any better than this as we talk to our mate Julie about the Olympics and 2023.
Julie Dolan was the first-ever captain (Cap 1) of the Australian Women’s National Team, with 34 appearances for the Matildas including eighteen international matches between 1978-1988.
Dolan is recognised as football royalty and has a plethora of awards and acknowledgements including Captain of FFA’s 1979-89 Team of the Decade (2013).
In 1988, the Julie Dolan Medal was announced by the Australian Women’s Soccer Association to recognise the best player in the league.
In 1999 Julie Dolan was inducted into Football Australia’s Hall of Fame. Dolan is also the recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Australian Sports Medal and is an OAM (2018).

Queen of the Week
Steffen singles out USWNT captain Becky Sauerbrunn. Sure it’s good, but is it as good as Stotty’s return?

Nordic
Norway Toppserien Round 9
- (9) Klepp IL (Nikola Orgill) played Kolbotn away on the weekend, with a second successive 3-0 loss. Nikola was not on the match card, having strained a hammy last week.
- (4) LSK Kvinner FK (Karly Roestbakken) drew 1-1 at home against champs Vålerenga, who lost influential captain Sherida Spitse to Dutch football (Ajax) this season and were also without Elise Thorsnes for this game, well known to Canberra United fans. LSK looked like they were good for the win but a bizarre goal equalised the game with just over 10 minutes to go, as Norwegian left-back Emilie Woldwik headed the ball powerfully onto the side of the head of forward Celin Bizet inside the penalty area, only to see the ball loop into the top left corner, leaving the LSK keeper no chance.
The results see both teams tied on 19 points, with Vålerenga just ahead on goal difference.
Karly is returning to Norway this week. - No games now till August 7
Iceland Round 10
- (3) UMF Selfoss (Emma Checker) First win for Emma as captain, 1-0 at home vs Keflavik (one of the promoted teams) further indicating they may be coming out of a slump. They retain 3rd place and play Þór/KA (‘Thor’) on July 21.
NPLW Roundup
NSW and Victoria’s NPLW competitions are still in lockdown, but there’s still football around Australia including:
ACT – Round 14
- Round 14 marks the end of the second full round, 1 full round to go.
- Gungahlin United vs Canberra Croatia postponed due to state of pitch.
- West Canberra Wanderers 0-3 Belconnen United, 2 goals to Keira Bobbin.
- Canberra Olympic 4-0 Tuggeranong United, hattie to Anna Vandenbroucke.
- Canberra United Academy 6-0, braces to Bessie Riethmuller – played well as a new focal point of attack; these were her first goals in the top grade but she has been scoring freely in Ressies – and Sofia Christopherson.
- Academy jump back into the top 4 at West Canberra’s expense.
VIC – NIKE FC Cup
Just prior to lockdown, the Nike FC Cup quarterfinals saw Calder United, Bulleen Lions and Box Hill United progress to the semi-finals, while the last quarter-final match between Casey Comets and South Melbourne FC is up in the air due to COVID exposure.
- Calder defeated Alamein 4-0
- The return of Stotty Bulleen defeated Melbourne Uni 5-0 – Highlights
- Box Hill United 5-1 over Melbourne Knights
A player involved in tonight’s match has been identified as a secondary close contact through an exposure site. The matter was discussed between the two clubs. The match has not proceeded and we will share more information when it is available.
