2025 SA U18 Girls Leadership Group Announced

By ALEXANDRA BULL

Woodville-West Torrens’ Imogen Trengove will captain the SA U18 Girls team for the 2025 Marsh AFLW National Championships.

The well-balanced versatile utility has been averaging 17.3 disposals, 4.7 tackles, 4.9 inside 50s and 1.6 clearances for the Eagles in the Hostplus SANFLW League this season.

Trengove will be joined by vice-captain, Sturt’s Sophie Thredgold, the hybrid midfielder/defender making her second appearance in the SA U18 Girls squad – along with Trengove – after the pair were bottom-agers in last year’s championship series.

Rising South Adelaide star Taya Maxwell has been named as an emerging leader, with the 16-year-old averaging 15.7 disposals, three marks, 4.7 clearances and 3.9 inside 50s in the SANFLW this season.

The Croweaters – coached by Brad Snell – will kick off their championship series on Sunday 22 June, against Victoria Metro at RSEA Park in Melbourne.

The girls will then head to Western Australia to take on WA on Sunday 29 June, at Revo Fitness Stadium, before hosting Queensland (Sunday August 3) and Victoria Country (Sunday August 10).

All 2025 Marsh AFLW National Championships matches will be lived-streamed via the AFL website.
