Article image for The original Matilda speaks of the tough road to the team’s global success

The Matildas play in the biggest match in Australian football history tonight when they take on England for a place in the World Cup final –  Shona proudly wears the mantle of an ‘original Matilda” – as a player in the inaugural Australian National Women’s Soccer team.

Leader, coach and original Matildas player Dr Shona Bass spoke with Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR’s Afternoons and detailed her experiences as a young Women’s footballer.

“We got the worst ground and we didn’t have changing rooms and most of us were playing against boys,” she said.
