Yes, I know. You probably have plans this weekend. The Olympics are starting and the biathalon is probably on at 9:30 or whatever. But you really should watch the W-League playoffs. Five Thorns players will be playing against the top opposition in Australia (Ashleigh Sykes and reported new signing Ellie Carpenter having just missed out in fifth place with Canberra).
Oz.com, which has been carrying all the televised W-League games so far, has a month-long free trial which will cover anyone who wants to watch the two semifinal games next weekend and the final on the 17th.
