The Westfield W-League returns in 2019 with a huge clash against the Newcastle Jets at Jubilee Stadium on Friday afternoon (kick off 5:20pm AEDT).
Leading their side’s respective lines, Caitlin Foord and Jenna Kingsley will be out to steer their squads to victory at Kogarah with nothing but goals on their minds.
Having played every minute of every match for the Sky Blues, and with Kingsley only subbed off late three times for her Jets side, the two forwards are well seasoned and primed for a huge clash as we enter the second half of the 2018/19 season.
Let’s take a look at the ‘Tale of the Tape’ between Caitlin Foord and Jenna Kingsley.
