Boomers' veteran Jenae Abel is almost at rock bottom.

The multiple league and cup champion has one of the most decorated resume's in the AWFA, but has called for an overhaul of women's football on the Border.

A combination of injuries and unavailabilites has forced Boomers to forfeit Sunday's senior clash against Albury City - the side's second forfeit of the season.

After winning the cup title in 2017, Boomers came under scrutiny for dropping back to division two last season - meaning there was only six teams in the senior women's competition, while 10 contested reserves.

Boomers moved back into the senior league this year, but Wodonga Diamonds only fielded reserves, so the two competitions remain the same as they were in 2018.

Abel admits being "crucified" when she steps out on the field because of the club's decision.

She's unsure how it can fixed, but believes division two should be scrapped so all clubs are playing in the same women's league.

"Women's football is deteriorating, fast, it's sad," Abel said.

"Yes Boomers were crucified for putting in a div two team last year, but again that was to develop the girls to be ready for div one.

Also in sport:

"I think a lot of people have the concept Boomers were the team they were three-plus years ago, when it was the older women who dominated the game and were the benchmark for AWFA.

"But it's not like any more and I don't think those opinions will ever change.

"When you crucify the girls that are trying to come through and are new to the sport and things that get said about women's football, it deters women.

"Especially when you've got AFLW coming through where it's so much more accepting and the culture is different, of course you're going to venture on to where you can be more accepted and play happier and healthy."

Abel also has fears for the playing future of her daughter, who is currently in Boomers' under-13s side.

"I don't know how we promote the game better for women. Whether it's funded somehow with free registrations for high school and primary school kids and just getting out and getting clinics happening," she said.

Abel added having a separate draw for the senior women to the rest of the club also makes things hard on players across the league.
