The Sky Blue women continued their dominance of the W-League over the weekend with a 4-1 thrashing of Melbourne Victory, extending their unbeaten run to 13 matches and are firm championship favourites.

And depending on selection, the National Youth League team will feature some of Sydney FC-s A-League stars.

“This is a great opportunity for Sydney FC to showcase the future stars of football to the Illawarra region. Not only is our W-League side the reigning champions but five of the girls are in the Matildas team as well,” Sydney FC Head of Football Stefan Kamasz said.

“We have very strong ties with Football South Coast and their support has allowed us to take the Sydney FC brand and the young stars of our club to the region.

“Our National Youth League side contains the next generation of Sydney FC stars and is coached by club legend Steve Corica. They are playing very entertaining football for a young team as are our W-League team so the day will feature some entertaining football and plenty of goals.”
