The Irish stars and clubs to watch as the 2021 AFLW finals kick off tomorrow Journal.ie 1 day ago
SIX TEAMS LEFT standing, nine Irish players.
Of the 14 from these shores on the books of Australian Football League Women’s [AFLW] clubs this season, five will play no further part: Aisling McCarthy, and Niamh and Grace Kelly of West Coast Eagles, and Cora Staunton and Bríd Stack of Greater Western Sydney Giants.
There’s plenty to keep an eye on thought, through the coming weeks’ knockout games, with at least one Irish player involved in each of the six teams remaining. This means, of course, that we’ll have an Irish Premiership champion in 2021.

THERE WERE CONTRASTING fortunes for the Irish players on AFLW duty this morning.
Although the prolific Aishling Sheridan was unable to add to her goals tally, the Cavan woman did her bit nevertheless as Collingwood continued their march towards the finals series.
Mayo’s Grace Kelly, one of three Irishwomen in the West Coast Eagles team, did register a goal but it was merely a measure of consolation in their heavy loss to Fremantle.
