Junior Turf

Girls junior turf is open to girls in the U13 and Junior age groups. There is one U13T competition and 3 Junior turf competitions. All teams in the competition undergo trials in February to determine whether the team is of the appropriate standard to play in the competition.

South West United field a JT1, JT2 and JT3 team in the BWHA competition for girls aged up to 17. The club also has an U13T team for players who are turning 13 in that year.
