Sam and Kelechi are in the studio again to talk another huge week of NPLW action. But thanks to the power of technology, Tommy and Ben Gilby make huge contributions off the bench!
The team talk a huge win for MUM FC and have an interview with head coach Steve Atkins, they break down Balcatta's 3-1 over Subi and ask is Rakic ball finally starting to settle in? No naughty girls this week but our favourite Naughty girl is back in the league along with a couple other Glory starlets, we talk about their impact in the league and can anyone stop RedStar?

Sean, Josh, Nick and Kelechi are here for another weekend of football to talk about listeners!
"You know who" are top of the league - we try our hardest not to talk about them but we do have a terrific interview with Jason Saldaris who is allowed to talk about them. We talk Inglewood v Armadale and ask if Inglewood are in trouble. We have a couple naughty boys at Kingsway and Stirling, with huge wins for RedStar, Fremantle and the Green Machine. Bayswater draw with the league leaders and more on this episode of the PFP.

Josh and Kelechi were at Hartfield Park for an emotional day for the club and the football community. The boys talk about the 3-1 for Forry before speaking doing a quick round up of the NPL Men and Women results!

Jacob Alfdemkampe is a Balga Soccer Club member and founder of FootballWA.net. He has a passion and love for soccer (as he calls it) and for community. This has seen him wear the Green and Black hat of Balga and the Oranje hat of Morley Windmills. 
His tireless efforts mean that we have an archive of football here in WA and a place to check up all the records as far as football can go.

As Jacob mentions in our chat - Balga Soccer Club are having a 40 year reunion to celebrate their side gaining promotion to WA's top tier.
 








It was back in 1984 when our club managed to earn the right to play in the top league of Western Australia when we finished runners-up in the second tier. The 40 year reunion will take place on Saturday 4th May at Princess Road Reserve when we take on Kalamunda City in our State League Division Two game. If you know of any of the players or coaching staff (First Team, Reserves or Under 17's) that played for Balga in 1984, please let them know. All these pictures were taken on the day (and night) when we were assured of promotion, anyone that was involved or supported the club that season are welcome to attend.

Tommy and Kelechi are here to recap week 4 of the NPLW!
There are wins for Balcatta over NTC with Tommy chatting to Abby Meakins, RedStar running rampant and maybe better than ever? Perth SC start to show some swagger and there is fluid free flowing football from Fremantle City.
 
We are also delighted to have Ben Gilby give us his take on Balcatta NTC as well as Perth RedStar UWA and give us just enough of a tease of his excellent interview with NTC Starlet Violet Longmore - you can check it out right here - https://impetusfootball.org/2024/04/17/violet-longmore-hitting-the-heights-with-the-ntc/
