Heidelberg United Women’s team is gearing up for an important match against Calder United this afternoon at 5 pm at Olympic Village. This match holds a special significance as it marks Daniella Galluccio’s 50th senior women’s game. Daniella, who was unfortunately cut from the squad in 2020, expressed her excitement about returning “home” and coming back to the team and taking on a leadership role.
Although Heidelberg United had a promising start to the season, they have faced some setbacks in recent weeks, losing their last two games. As a result, they currently find themselves in 9th place on the competition ladder. However, Coach Louie Spiridis remains optimistic and is fully aware of the challenges that come with a long season. It’s important not to read too much into the team’s early season form, as there is still a long way to go. Coach Spiridis expects another tough game today, as Calder United has established themselves as one of the leading clubs in the women’s competition. Calder United sets the benchmark for other teams, making this match an exciting and challenging opportunity for Heidelberg United to prove themselves.
The players are determined to give it their all and secure a victory in honour of Daniella Galluccio’s milestone game.
So, mark your calendars and come support the Heidelberg United Women’s team as they take on Calder United this afternoon at 5pm. Let’s cheer them on and celebrate Daniella Galluccio’s 50th senior women’s game with enthusiasm and encouragement. Go Heidelberg United!
