'Finding yourself another family' A discussion on this years Barwon Pride Cup and how it is much more than just playing football in rainbows.

Pride Cup involves so much more than just playing football in rainbows. In the lead up to events participating teams are involved in education sessions and learn about how we can be more inclusive to the whole LGBTIQ+ community. Barwon Leagues Senior Womens Football Pride Cup in 2021 will feature two games at the Anthony Costa Oval in South Geelong on Sunday 27/06/21 1pm Division 2 - St Mary's (2) Vs. Drysdale and 3pm Division 1 - St Mary's (1) Vs. Grovedale.  Molly (she/her) and Grace (she/her) from Division 1 St Mary's discuss the 2019 event and what they are hoping to see at future events. Although this years event is scaled back we are glad to be back playing footy together. This will be St Mary' Division 2, Grovedale (Division 1) and Drysdale's (Division 2) first year involved in the Barwon Pride Cup. Steph (she/her) and Georgie (she/her) from Division 2 Drysdale Hawk's discuss visibility and acceptance over the years and how far we still have to go. All of us were able to speak about how football helped us find our community and was a valuable part of feeling accepted which still in 2021 doesn't necessarily translate to the rest of our lives.   If you have any questions, feedback or would like to be involved send us a message on facebook, instagram or email us [email protected] For more information regarding this years event please visit: https://fb.me/e/1TVaPnGma To find out more information regarding Pride Cup and other Pride Cup games please visit: https://pridecup.org.au/ To find out more information regarding AFL Barwon please visit:  https://www.facebook.com/aflbarwon/
