Canberra United officially launched the defence of the Westfield W-League crown won in such superb style last season with a lunchtime function at the home of one of their sponsors, the Tradies Club, in Dickson last week.
CEO Heather Reid addressed the invited guests which included sponsors, politicians and members of the press who interviewed United-s stars ahead of what is sure to be another memorable season of Westfield W-League football. Also present was former USA national coach April Heinrichs who later that day took part in a Women in Sport Coaching Clinic and Seminar, held for the second year in front of a rapt audience.
Reid thanked the numerous sponsors who have helped make Canberra United the envy of the competition and has given Coach Jitka Klimkova the best possible chance of success in the 2012/13 season. Introducing the squad, Reid was able to highlight the individual success achieved by the players in being selected for the team for the challenges ahead before photographs of the shirt presentation took place.
