Broadmeadow defensive midfielder Kirstyn Antoni back for top-of-the-table NPLW NNSW clash

The defensive midfielder was handed a mandatory one-match suspension after being red-carded for two yellow card offences late in Magic's 2-0 win over Adamstown last weekend.

The ban was set to be served when Broadmeadow played Maitland at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility on Wednesday night in NNSW Football (NNSWF) Women's League Cup semi-finals.

The other semi-final between Olympic and Charlestown scheduled for Darling Street Oval on Wednesday night was washed out.

** Coach Niko Papaspiropoulos was pleased with how third-placed Azzurri adapted to structural changes as they bounced back from a 3-0 loss to New Lambton to beat Warners Bay 8-1 last weekend.

"There were some good moments to pick out of that with a bit of a change," Papaspiropoulos said.

"It was just different ways we can approach the game and take control and be more aggressive, and it worked quite well in patches.

"We've just got to keep building on that and having a few extra options in the way we can influence games."

** Seventeen-year-old Phoebe Little, a Kamilaroi/Gomeroi/Gamilaraay woman from Tamworth, has produced the winning design for NNSW Football's NAIDOC Cup team jerseys.

The NAIDOC Cup was introduced last year and will be contested between 14s and 16s teams from NNSWF and Football NSW at Valentine Sports Park in July.

With the theme of "For Our Elders", Little's design represents the challenges and milestones indigenous culture has overcome.
