We are back with the final podcast of 2020, and a longer than normal show as in this show the Ladies take centre stage.
Our guest on this show Emily Mountford who noticing how few women were involved in Mountain Biking decided to do something about it. Along with the Linga Longa Mountain Bike Park she organised the first Trail Bliss Women’s MTB Festival. She talks about how the event came about and how it went, and the interest that it has generated. If there are any other ladies out there interested then follow WA Gravity Girls on Social Media for more information on how to become involved.
The Hockeyroos have been in the Australian media on an almost daily basis in the past fortnight and not for events on the field of play. John and Ashley question whether the current internal investigation is going to delve deep enough to resolve any of the issues that have been around far longer than the four years being looked at. Concerns have been raised by others that Government funding could well be cut if the results are found to be inadequate.
Also in this show Ashley praises a sports administrator! The Football Federation of Australia receive praise for changing the format of the FFA Cup. No longer will a non-A-League team be guaranteed a place in the semi-finals, also games will be stand alone fixtures and the final will be held at a neutral venue. Probably one of the biggest announcements related to the FFA Cup is the news that the winner will have the opportunity to play in the Asian Champion’s League. This should give the competition more meaning and make winning it more beneficial for the team that wins. The FFA is looking for your feedback on the changes and also a new name, as with the FFA becoming Football Australia, the name is no longer in line with the organisation.
