Penny TannerHoath brings you 3 hours of The World Game with a studio full of guests this Saturday.

In the first hour of local news our guests include Bunbury Forum Force’s Champion Goal Keeper Sara King. We chat about the club’s progress and growth in the South West region.

Some changes to the women’s game in 2011 are needed to stabilise the competition and promote its growth. It’s looking positive for the members as Football West consider all parties in making those changes that will affect mainly the Premier, Reserve and First Division sides.

Football West’s new media face Chris Correia brings all the local match reviews and previews in the top divisions across our local leagues. Plus a review of the Holiday programmes that have concluded with the new school term starting this week. Glory’s last match before the season happens next Wednesday at Litis Stadium. The Call to Arms Cup match sees the best talent in our local league challenge themselves against the Glory.

Keith Wood joins us on line to chat about movements in Football West registrations. We discuss the significant factors affecting changes over the years in groups playing football in WA. Tune in to hear how other sports in WA compare. You may be surprised where Football lies in comparison tables.

Between 10 and 11am we speak with the Media Men from Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar. Glory’s Steve Nelkovski has every right to be boasting about the club’s squad and preseason schedule. Roar’s Daniel Lato fills us in on their lead up to the season under coach Ange Postecoglou and the effect of the club being in the TV spotlight. The Fox Superstar Series winner was revealed on Thursday and like most A League clubs they have had a flurry of preseason matches to get the squad into form.

Matilda’s coach Tom Sermanni takes us through the lead up to the W League season and which teams are faring well at the Under 20 Women’s Word Cup in Germany. Australia is a notable absence while USA are progressing as expected as per their #1 FIFA ranking.

In the last hour between 11 and 12 noon we speak with the Fox Football Superstar winner, Liam McCormick, unveiled on national television Thursday night. Perth’s Devon Gibson narrowly missed out on the Roar contract, making it to the last 3. It’s then from Brisbane across to Sydney with former Socceroo Alex Tobin. Tobin has left Central Coast coaching staff to try for a coaching position at the FFA. He follows in the footsteps of our own Alistair Edwards and Adelaide’s Aurelio Vidmar. A patron of Deaf Football Australia and a huge Coach Education advocate, he discusses his plans with us.

John O’Connell and Phil Arnold are in the studio to bring us all the international football news from major leagues and events from around the world.

While most of our international contacts are still travelling or having a break, it gives us the chance to talk up our own opinions on some of the important events happening around the globe.

Join Penny TannerHoath, Chris Correia, John O’Connell and Phil Arnold this Saturday morning 9am-12pm on 107.9fm Radio Fremantle. Text Penny on 0408 921 832 anytime or ring the studio on 9494 2100 Saturday morning with your comments.
