00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160

00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: these days, don't they.

87
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: We haven't discussed actually traveling for those.

88
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: We really had to get our calendar in shape earlier.

89
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: We need to get that sorted.

90
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: In football news, the Western Sydney Wanderers have beaten the

91
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Newcastle Jets for one in their Valentine's Day clash. It's

92
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: safe to say that love was in the air for

93
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Bronti True and Enna Harada, with both Wanderer's players scoring

94
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: their debut A Leagues goals during the match, but it

95
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: was actually the Jets who struck first, a goal coming

96
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: courtesy of Tash Pryor after just six minutes. Just after

97
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: the half an hour mark, the Wonders restored parody with

98
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: a solid solo run from Bronte True, entering the break

99
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: with a two to one lead.

100
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: Do we reckon sheoose related to Arissa no Cool?

101
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: It was a tight start the second half, but eventually

102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Newcastle found themselves up against it after conceding a penalty

103
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: which wonder If skipper Amy Harrison stepped up for and

104
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: successfully converted. Substitute Holy Caspers then put the icing on

105
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: the red and black cake for Wanderers final score or

106
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: one the loste's. Newcastle's winless streak extended to ten games.

107
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: That's not we don't love to see that, do we? Meanwhile,

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: on the complete other end of the spectrum, an eighty

109
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: ninth minute winner against Sydney FC has seen Melbourne City

110
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: extend their unbeaten run to seventeen games.

111
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,960

00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: place Sydney at halftime, but came out firing the second

Speaker 1: half from wasted no time with Marianna Speckmayer, scoring just

116
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: twenty five seconds after halftime. With the game inching towards

117
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: its conclusion, City were in search of a hero and

118

Speaker 1: found one in super sub Briley Henry, who fired the

119

Speaker 1: FCA hearts at the death.

121
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400

Speaker 2: for Team Australia at the Invictus Games, with the team

Speaker 2: were won by women.

125
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 4: Deja vu for those wondering.

126
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: The Victus Games is an international multi sport event first

127
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,919

128
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: service personnel, both serving and veterans ailst There were many.

129
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: Highlights from the game.

130
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: Some notable ones were Australian Army Captain Olivia Marley Dyer,

131
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: sister of Yes Jesse Marley. Yeah, the Commissioner of the WSL.

132
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: Is that what you did? Roll these days? Glad to

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: arrest the true I don't think though.

134
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: No or ruby true. There's a lot of truth around

135
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: true story.

136
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: Australian Army Captain Olivia Miley Dyer winning the Aussies of

137
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 2: first medal of the Games in Nordic cross country skiing,

138
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: mostly Australian competitors. It was the first time doing the sport,

139
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: not less competing against countries from across the globe. Olivia

140
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: beat the competition, finishing the fifteen hundred medic course in

141
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: four minutes and three seconds, racing across Whistler Olympic Park

142
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: to take golt. Miley Dye told media, I've only done

143
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: three or four days on snow, so I was lucky

144
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: I managed to stay on my feet. I came into

145
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: these Games really not expected to meddle. Also, this is

146
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: an added bonus that's so impressive, and I think that's

147
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: part of the INVIITNUS Games. It's it's more a celebration

148
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: of coming together and competing rather than you know, necessarily

149
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: gathering the best Nordic cross country skiers in the world.

150
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: It's really about getting those return service people together and

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: celebrating their achievements. And I guess connecting connections is what

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. Dang on the slopes, Oussie Katie

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: Chapman took out gold in the ISB five snowboard with

154

00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: In baskecball news, the Perth Links have defeated the towns Will.

162
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Fire eighty seven to eighty six.

163
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: In an overtime thriller to notch up the second spot

164
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: on the WNBL ladder at a home court advantage for

165
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the semi final series. The Links were playing catch up

166
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: for most of the game, trailing the Fire by eleven

167
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: points at quarter time and again by five points at

168
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the main break. The Links had pulled that back to

169
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: a three point game by three quarter time and then

170
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: put themselves in a winning position with a two twelve

171
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: and oh fourth quarter run ooh, but the Fire hit

172
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: back with a near coffee shot just before the buzzer

173
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: to send it to overtime. Townsville then had all the

174
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: momentum leading eighty six to eighty with forty five seconds

175
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: to go, But that's where the links turned up the pressure.

176
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: A steal from Steph Gorman set up Adelie Maylee to

177
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: bring it back to a two point game. Then Letitia

178
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: Amahir grabbed the steel off a driving Lauren Cox before

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: she took off to lead the break, and then found

180
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 1: Alex Chibertoni, who was waiting out on the wing. She

181
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: knocked down a clutch bree as the buzzer sounded how good?

182
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: How good is that? Perth coach Ryan Patrick said the

183
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: result could have easily gone either way. It's a flip

184
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: of a coin. With all due respect, it's tough, really tough,

185
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: and there's not much between these two teams, as we

186
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: found out for the third straight year. We get to

187
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: keep playing each other for a reason. You don't get

188
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: to play each other if you're seventh and eighth. You

189
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: only get to play each other again and again if your.

190
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: Top four quality rises to the top part, yes it does.

191
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: In some rugby league news, the Indigenous All Stars have

192
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: beaten the Murray Ferns twenty to eighteen with a penalty

193
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: goal after the siren.

194
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: The only thing that separated the two sides.

195
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: The Indigenous All Stars dominated the opening stages of the match,

196
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: with two convertit tries in the first fifteen minutes getting

197
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: them out to a twelve nil lead, but the Murray

198
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: side were keen to show what they had up their sleeve,

199
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: crashing over the trail line twice to level the scores.

200
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: Kiriri did was then forced from the field in the

201
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: twenty third minute with an injury, which brought on substitute

202
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: Leilani Montgomery.

203
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: It was the Ferns who took.

204
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: The lead heading to the break with eighteen to twelve

205
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: in front at Orangers, but the game was turned on

206
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: its head when Indigenous All Stars bench weapon La Costa

207
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: scored three minutes after taking the field. Elani Montgomery leveled

208
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: the scores a short time later with a penalty kick,

209
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: and she was gifted a penalty in front of goal,

210
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: which she calmly slaughtered to secure back to back victories

211
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: for the Indigenous All Stars against the Mary Ferns. Nineteen

212
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: year old La Costa told and Our about her chat

213
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: with the team when they were down at halftime.

214
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: I love the nineteen year old kid having a little chat.

215
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I respect that. You'd be nervous.

216
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: It's a good kid, Ella. She spent a season at

217
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: the Wartars as a sixteen year old before.

218
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: She went to the dark side.

219
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: Thank you for saying that.

220
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200

228
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Hotspur five nil in the Women's Super League derby. It

229
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the ideal start for the Spurs, with Arsenal's first

230
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: goal coming courtesy of an own goal by Tottenham defender

231
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: and Ossie Claire Hunt in the fifteenth minute, before Mariona

232
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: cal Denti doubled the lead twenty minutes later. Freedom Adam's

233
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: fifty first minutes straight then deflected in off Hunt, before

234
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Lessia Russo's effort seven minutes later and a stunning late

235
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: hit from Emily Fox completed. I actually can't believe it

236
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: was five now and can.

237
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,760

00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: The route completed.

239
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: The route I like they dominated is a route, it's route.

240
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: They absolutely dominated.

241
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah they're going all right, Arsenal gosh.

242
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: The Gunners were relentless throughout, exploiting a poor defensive play

243
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: from Tottenham and consolidating their third place position in the

244
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,040

00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: Simmers ripped her way to a seven point four to three,

267

Speaker 2: of the decider. After clinching victory, Simmers told the press,

271
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: all I can think of really is just how thankful

272
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: I am. Honestly, I'm thankful for surfing, for just being

273
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: able to ride waves.

274
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: It's the funnest thing ever. I really enjoyed it.

275
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: And I'm thankful for Molly because she makes me surf

276
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: my best and I feel like we both do that

277
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: to each other.

278
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: So that's always fun.

279
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 3: Love that respect.

280
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: That's so cool.

281
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: How good they're really starting to develop a solid rivalry,

282
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: these two youngsters.

283
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: It's cool that they're so young and there's a really

284
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: strong rivalry there.

285
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.

286
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: And just on that wavepool if you didn't catch any

287
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: of it, it's really we spoke about a little bit

288
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: touched on it last week. It's because it's a consistent wave.

289
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: They serve two lefts or two rights and two lefts,

290
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: so I want to be on their forehand and want

291
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: to be on their backhand, depending if they're a natural

292
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: or goofy. But it's really interesting because they kind of

293
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: get a chance to answer back. So they do a

294
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: left and a right, and then the other surfer surfs

295
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: and then they do another left and a right, so

296
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: they kind of know what they need.

297
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: It's so I didn't get to see this event, but

298
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: it's so different even as a spectator because you're not

299
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: there's not a huge amount of time just sitting waiting

300
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: for set to come in.

301
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty cool.

302
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: I had an interview with Phoebe Litchfield Ossie Cricketer, and

303
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: she is iconic, Like she's just a young kid who's

304
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: talented and she's got real personality about her. I don't

305
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: really think of it as a career option because you

306
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: don't really do that at that age. I wanted to

307
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: work at like the sport, you know, like I just

308
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: love sports.
