The 2018 NAB AFL Women’s competition may be over, but the Women’s Football action will continue when the GIANTS take to the field in the new Winter Series beginning in May.
The GIANTS will field two sides – the Northern GIANTS and the Southern GIANTS – in the six-match competition, playing against the Brisbane Lions and the Gold Coast Suns in Sydney and in Queensland.
All teams will select a squad of 30 players made up of AFLW contracted players and locally recruited players, with the GIANTS to hold testing days across New South Wales and the ACT in April.
