10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: the minor premiership. The Matildas have been in Germany for

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: just the second time in the history and Ash Chantel

Speaker 1: So the key story will discuss the new five year

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: broadcast deals signed for the Women's Super League in England

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: that's been hailed as the country's most significant broadcast partnership

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: for women's soccer ever. Huge. My name is Bez. We

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: are recording on Gadigalan. A little exciting thing happened last

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: night we announced TEFA Award winners. It was an amazing

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: recording and just a combination of all of the incredible

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: athletes that were nominated and administrators and all those people

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: that make women support what it was. So if you

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, jump on our socials get around it.

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: There's some great videos there from some winners and just

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: some real coolness. So let's take a look around the grounds.

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: In AFLW, Hawthorne has defeated Richmond in the final round

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: of the AFLW by twenty three points, locking up second

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: place on the ladder and the one at Million Dollars

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: McClelland a tough one trophy. So what is the McLellan Trophy,

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: you asked me? Says it is. It recognizes the champion club,

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: So it's across the men's and the women's team who's

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: a competition who have accumulated the most points in their

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: home and away seasons. So the Brisbane lines defeated some

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: and killed it earlier in the weekend and that meant

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: that Hawthorne needed a win or a draw against Richmond

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to take the one at million dollar prize. Hawthorne finished

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: on a combined one hundred and thirty six points following

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: their win against Richmond, with eighty points in afl W

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and fifty six in the AFL Men will call it

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: while the Brisbane Lions finished second on one hundred and

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: thirty points. The million dollar prize will be distributed equally,

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: with two hundred and fifty thousand going to the AFL

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: W Playing Group, two hundred and fifty thousand to the

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: AFL Men's playing Group, two hundred and fifty thousand to

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: the club's football department, and two hundred and fifty thousand

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: dollars to the club. I love that little bit of

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: incentive across the board for everyone to succeed. So back

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: to the game. It was a slow start for both sides,

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: with the deadlock not broken until five minutes into the

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: second term. Meanwhile, it was back and forth in the

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: third quarter, with just two points separating the sides heading

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: into that final quarter, But it was Hawthorne who were

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: read to swoop, scoring four goals to Richmond's won. The

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: win capped off with a stunning intercept turned goal from

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: Kitlin Ashmore to see the game finish forty six per

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: twenty three.

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: In hockey, the new south Wells Priorde have recorded their

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: first win of the season in emphatic fashion with a

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: six to one win over Hockey Club Melbourne Pride. Captain

59
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: Avian Billie said make Hispuniche came becoming the first player

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: in the league to score five goals in a single match.

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: She was on the end of some clinical deliveries from

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: team outs while showing incredible individual brilliance at the same

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: time in the dominant display. Pride coach Scott Barker, who

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: was also a colleague of mine at Sydney UNI, I

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: just wanted to plug that there. Sub Scotty told me

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: that Wilson has used missing out on Olympics as a motivation.

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: She was extremely disappointed to miss the Olympics. She put

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: it behind her and has been moving forward. Australia play

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: in the Pro League in February and if she continues

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: like she is then she'll break back in We have

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: focused on making her a more versatile player, distributor and

72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: a goal shooter and she has exceeded so well so far.

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Excellent. In netballne news, the Diamonds claimed a Constellation Constellation

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Cup win.

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: I always have to think about how to say that word.

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Con well, it was so. It was an important sixty

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: three to victory over the Silver Ferns and the final

78
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: test of the twenty twenty four Constellation Cup. After three

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: losses in a row, so it was a nice one

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: to finish off with. Despite a goal for goal start

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: and a chaotic second quarter, the Diamonds Sean Bright a

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: half time to come away with the win. The defensive

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: end was on fire from the starting whistle, with Courtney

84
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Bruce and Sunday Ariang impenetrable in the back third as

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: a mother Kiwi superstar goal shooter Grace Noweki. While defense

86
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: was the key to win because we all know defense

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: wins trophies, a shooting accuracy of ninety five percent insured

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Diamonds punished a wasteful silver Ferns on the scoreboard. Player

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: of the match Kira Austin typified the Diamonds we're nailing

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven of her thirty shots on goal and a

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: vital intercept deep into the fourth quartered ice the match over.

92
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: The WBBL Sophie Mollynux has guided. The Melbourne Renegades were

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: thrilling a two wicket win over the Adelaide Strikers that

94
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: came down to the final ball. Telliam McGrath notched up

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: a sixty four not out to guide the Strikers to

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: a five to one hundred and fifty seven in the

97
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: first innings, and the raigning champions looked likely winners when

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: they reduced the host three two nine in their brun

99
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: chase at the end of the power play, but Renegade's

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: captain Sophie Mollyney launched a stunning response, blasting the equal

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: They had fastest fifty in WBBL history from just twenty

102
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: one bores on her way to sixty four off thirty

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: two deliveries. Moll news knock included nine fours and three six's,

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: but they were still working for the Renegades to do,

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: and the contest went down to the wire, with Nicole

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: Faltem hitting the winning runs off the final ball of

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: the innings to help the Renegades to their second win

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: of the season by just a run. Moll New told

109
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Fox Squads, it was just one of those days, and

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: when you've got a batting order like ours, I knew

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: that if you have people coming in after you, that

112
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: you can get the job done, which was great.

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: In a league women's there's a lot of returning competitions

114
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: at the moment, which is great. So obviously wbbl's back,

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: the football's back, and the wnbl's back, but in the football,

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: as stunning strike from super starb Avia Breeders in the

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: ninety second minute has helped Melbourn Victory to a three

118
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: to two win over Adelaide United in the original rivalry match.

119
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: It was a fast start to the game, with Emily

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Gilnick taking just four minutes open account for the new

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: A League season. Mother Red's got one back courtesy of

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: Fiona Warts. Gilnick struck again, heading home a second in

123
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: first half stoppage time. Warts bagged her second of the

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: game in the seventy first minute to make it too too.

125
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: It was a Warts and Gildnwick show. Avid Briders came

126
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: on for Matilda's double gore goal scorer Gilnick and picked

127
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: up a loose ball inside the box before lacing one

128
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: past Adelaide keeper Fordia Jenkins to seal the sweetest of victories.

129
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: On the opening day.

130
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: In the WNBL, The Perth Things have outshine ragining WNBL

131
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: champions at the South Side Flyers with a ninety four

132
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: to seventy nine victory in the opening round of the

133
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: WNBL season. There was a highest scoring opening from both

134
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: teams in last year's Grand Final rematch, with both teams

135
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: combining for fifty eight points in the first quarter, with

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: the Lynx leading by four at quarter time, but the

137
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: game was blown open in the second, with the Links

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: outscoring the Flyers in the second to lead fifty seven

139
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: or forty five at the main break. Then in the

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: third quarter the Lynx put the result beyond all doubt,

141
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: starting with a forty to four run to outscore the

142
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: Flyers twenty nine points to twelve, which led to the

143
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: eventual thirty one point lead and finally the fifteen point victory.

144
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: And in football, the Matildas had defeated Germany for just

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: the second time in history with a huge two to

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: one win. Germany started strongly, dominating shots and position possession

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: even and Selena Churchi made no mistake in front of goal,

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: converting aheader to give the home side the lead. But

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: it was a remarkable moment soon that soon after that

150
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: turn the game on its head. After receiving the ball

151
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: from a turnover in midfield, Kyra kney Cross looked up

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: and saw goalkeeper Steen at Johann's off her line and

153
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: a shot from near halfway it with pinpoint accuracy to

154
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: equalize for Australia. That absolute peach of a strike was

155
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: cooney Cross's first international goal. Did you see It was

156
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, wasn't it. Yes? It was. Yeah, just turned

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: around and said, hey, I see you off your line.

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to put it in the net. Australia then

159
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: took the lead in the seventy eighth minute when Steph

160
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Catley swung in a corner that found the head of

161
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Claire Hunt, who also registered at first international goal. There

162
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: was a holy for cherries being popped on the weekend

163
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: last week. Even Germany pushed for an equalizer in the

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: final moments, but the brick wall Mackenzie Arnold wouldn't be

165
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: better and we're second sticking down was forced into arguably

166
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: her fines safe of the match, curing the win for

167
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: the Tillies. After the game, Kyra Cooney Cross told media,

168
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop thinking about it after a scord. It

169
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: just feels like a big relief and a weight off

170
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: my shoulders. Dope for that kid. Seems like she's been

171
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: around forever. She's still only a baby. Those are the

172
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: scary athletes.

173
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, when their best days are still yet ahead of them.

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Literally, kyakone across his best days, I'm very much ahead

175
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: of her. It's very exciting. We're here for it.

176
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: Nonetheless. At the Nearest of Triathlon over the weekend, Ozzie

177
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: ash Gentle claimed her tenth consecutive and eleventh overall victory

178
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 2: at the event. But it wasn't easy. I mean, a

179
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: triathlon's ever easy.

180
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Trathon's are very easy. Look, I do it, but I

181
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: just couldn't do a swim part. And if I did

182
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: the run, I needed a couple of puffers. Oh my goodness,

183
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: you're and your puffers. That's a whole other story. But

184
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: it's funny because it's the person that sits in that

185
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: chair inadvertly can't swim. It's some Chloe reckons. She also

186
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: would be great at trathon's except for the swim part.

187
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's just this left handed side to see.

188
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: That's the Yeah, okay, cool. I've always wanted to have

189
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: something common chloees, so we can bond over that. Gentle

190
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: found herself in an unfamiliar position, emerging from the one

191
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: point five kilometer swim with a significant deficet of one

192
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: minute and twenty seconds behind early leader Mikaela Messer. The

193
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: gap was notably larger than her usual swim splits at NEUSA.

194
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: She must have been watching you swim.

195
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm with you right there. Her on her

196
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: Wedsday is still better than me and my best The

197
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: bike Lea proved to be the turning point, working with

198
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: the power and precision that has marked a successful transition

199
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: to longer distant racing. This year, Gentle methodically worked away

200
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: through the field. By the halfway point of the forty

201
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: kilometer ride, she had not only bridged the gap, but

202
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: moved into the lead, a position she wouldn't relinquish. After

203
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: the race, Jensel said, myself and my whole family have

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: made a tradition. It's part of what we do. All

205
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: My family is coming to support me. To be able

206
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: to do that with my family every year is really special.

207
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: What a woman so good. Let's take a look at

208
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the key story. This is a really interesting one. So

209
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: we love it when we read about people investing in

210
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: women's sport, and this is a really significant one because

211
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: the investment allows for visibility, so we're a win win here.

212
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: The Women's Super League the WSL, has signed a five

213
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: year rights extension with Sky Sports and the BBC, hailing

214
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: it as the most significant broadcast ontorship ever for women's

215
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: soccer in the UK. The new deal, which runs until

216
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: the end of the twenty twenty nine twenty thirty season.

217
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: Is this the future? I can't deal with twenty thirty anyway,

218
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: my digress. It's worth approximately AUD one hundred and twenty

219
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: five million dollars at approximately twenty five million. These are

220
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: all AUD numbers per season. The latest contract represents a

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: significant increase on the WSL's current agreement with Sky and

222
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: the BBC, which is understood to be worth a maximum

223
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of fifteen million annually.

224
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: Sky, which continues as the WSL's lead board cast partner,

225
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 2: will show up to one hundred and eighteen matches per season,

226
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: with seventy eight on an exclusive basis, and will receive

227
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the first choice picks. Remaining games

228
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: at thirty four will be shared non exclusively between Sky

229
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: and Women's Professional Leagues Limited WPLL YouTube channel, and seven

230
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: will be broadcast on both Sky and the BBC. All told,

231
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: the BBC will show twenty one matches across its platforms,

232
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: including fourteen exclusively on BBC Television. Importantly, any matches not

233
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: selected for live television broadcast will be shown live on

234
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: the WPLL YouTube channel. As part of an expansion of

235
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: the new partnership agreed with the streaming platform this summer.

236
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: It means fans will be able to watch all one

237
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two games in a WSL season live,

238
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 2: either on television or online.

239
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that the YouTube channels picking

240
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: up the slack. So the BBC and Sky obviously get

241
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: first shot, but anything that's not shown by them YouTube

242
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: being going to pick up.

243
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: The accessibility is next level.

244
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: And it just allows fans of all teams to get involved.

245
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

246
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: It's going to revolutionize their game.

247
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

248
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: As well as a top flight WSL, Sky has the

249
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: option to show matches from their second tier Women's Championship

250
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: and Women's League Cup competition, including the final. This brings

251
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: both competitions onto Sky for the first time. Furthermore, in

252
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: game and postgame rights have been granted to players to

253
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: use for the first time, meaning players will be given

254
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: digital rights to show their own highlight clips on their

255
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: social media channels.

256
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Damn.

257
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: That arrangement is seen as being unique to the WSL

258
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: and will help players enhance their brands.

259
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got two questions for you. First one, man,

260
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: First one is how many Let's talk about an average

261
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: game of yours. We're talking eighty minutes highlights take up

262
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: what how long?

263
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds?

264
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Because you know, bacibout the quantity. That's right, Yeah, that

265
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: piece is important, friend, No in all seriously know that

266
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: that is so important that female athletes can get access

267
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: to those highlights to put on their own channels, so

268
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: that there again, it's about visibility people can engage through

269
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: directly through the athlete.

270
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: And exposure is so underrated, particularly in the women's game,

271
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: and when you have so much tape around what you

272
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: can share on your own personal profile, it does actually

273
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: stifle your ability to put your name out there and.

274
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Also show you athleticism.

275
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: So this is huge as groundbreaking and he just goes

276
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: to show that it can be done.

277
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Love that. Women's Professional League Chief Executive Nicki Dowsett says

278
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: the growth of the game is undeniable and this deal

279
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: is another step in the right direction and positive news

280
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: for the fans, the players and the club's Sky and

281
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: the BBC are longtime backers and their contribution to the

282
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: growth of the women's game should not go unrecognized. Well done, WSL.

283
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. First up,
