This is a little belated but we felt that we must congratulate Westfield Matilda Caitlin Foord on being voted the Hyundai Young player of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The sixteen year old was a bolter coming into the squad after an impressive W league season and did an outstanding job marking Marta in Australia’s first game against Brazil. There is no doubt that she has a promising future ahead of her, and if she can continue to improve at her current rate will be a star of Women’s football.
We should also acknowledge Ellyse Perry whose goal against Sweden was voted the fourth best in the tournament.
Congratulations Caitlin
