The Matildas play warm up games in Wollongong

Australia's national women's football team, The Matildas, played a warm up game in Wollongong ahead of their trip to Japan for the Rio Olympic Qualifiers. They played the local team Illawarra Stingrays who were sprinkled with a couple of male players just to keep thing interesting. Whilst the Matildas won on the night, a crowd of several thousand watched some high quality football and the Stingray's got to play against some of the country's best footballers.
