Commonwealth Bank Matildas Face Ireland Live And Free On 10.
Niav Owens and Amy Chapman Join The Home Of Australian Football.
Wednesday, 22 September Live And Free From 3.30am AEST, Kick-Off At 4.00am
Fresh from their history-making performance at the recent Olympic Games in Japan, Australia’s Commonwealth Bank Matildas will play the Republic of Ireland in Dublin this Wednesday, 22 September, live and free from 3.30am AEST, kick-off at 4.00am AEST, on 10 and simulcast on 10 Play.
As the Commonwealth Bank Matildas step out for their first game since Tokyo, the international friendly held at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin will mark the first encounter between the two countries in a women’s international fixture. The match will also see Commonwealth Bank Matildas star forward, Sam Kerr, celebrate her 100th outing for the green and gold when she lines up for the clash.
Joining 10’s football family to host the international clash is top sports broadcaster Niav Owens, and former Matildas midfielder and Brisbane Roar W-League Championship winner, Amy Chapman. Calling the match will be 10’s expert football commentator Simon Hill.
Amy said: "I am looking forward to seeing the Commonwealth Bank Matildas back in action for the first time since their successful Olympics campaign.
“This match is a great opportunity to build on their recent performances and will be crucial for their preparation heading into the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup.”
Catch all the action live and free this Wednesday, 22 September, from 3.30am AEST, kick-off at 4.00am AEST, on 10 and simulcast on 10 Play.
They’ve already got 3 or 4 of each male and female plus Simon and the host that’s a team of around 10 for two games a week plus the odd international. How many more people do you want?
They’re not producing the coverage for those games. It’s being produced by the APL.
Too expensive. Not necessarily. Rather a quality set and more money spent on production values than more talking heads when they have more than enough.
10Bold just had a show called “Matildas: Countdown to India 2022” from 10.35 - 11.04pm. No promotion of this show at all. I only came along this show while flicking through the channels, and I only watched the last 2 minutes. Three presenters standing while standing around that tiny table.
There you go. I somehow missed that post in here for some reason. Shows that i needed to pay more attention just a few posts up. Thanks for clarifying it to me
Having recently shown Socceroos and FFA Cup action, the new home of Australian football demonstrated the women’s game appears to be in good hands.
Simon Hill and former Matilda Amy Chapman commentated the match perfectly with the duo bouncing off each other well and Chapman providing great insights.
At half-time and full-time, an enthusiastic Niav Owens hosted an engaging panel compromising of Georgia Yeoman-Dale and Sarah Walsh as Channel 10 started their Matildas coverage on the right foot.
It’s set to be a big few years for women’s football in Australia with Network 10’s coverage of the new W-League season hopefully only going to give the game a growing audience.
