Today is the first day of Female Football Week. We have interviewed Lee-Anne Sestanovich, who is an extremely familiar face at Cromer Park and in Northern Beaches football. Like a lot of people, family was a big part of the reason for her association with the local game.
“My husband Michael is involved at Manly Vale doing several different roles, he’s been playing since he was six for Manly Vale, Manly Warringah and APIA. Around 20 years ago the Manly Vale gear steward stepped down and the two of us took on the gear for the club.
“I played for around five seasons with a group of friends and would spend every weekend watching our kids Lara and Daniel play.
“I first started at the MWFA as a receptionist, doing three days a week. When the competition manager left, they asked me if I wanted this role, 16 years later I’m still here.
“I love working at MWFA and Manly United FC, they are a great bunch of people, and enjoy working with the committees & club volunteers.
“A big thank you to all our female coaches, players, referees and volunteers for everything you do.”
