Sheena Storrie will take charge of Sunday's senior women's clash between St Pats and Melrose - to be played at the usual senior men's time slot of 3pm.

Storrie hopes the round will attract more women to the sport.

"Hopefully it will encourage more to get involved," she said.

"There's a couple of young girls up and coming (as referees), but it would be good to get a lot more."

Also in sport:

After retiring from playing, Storrie's career began in 1981 and saw her earn her FIFA badge - officiating 10 international women's fixtures between 1995 and 2001.

She has also refereed four Australian women's finals and five AWFA senior men's cup finals.

Storrie is a life member of the Albury/Wodonga Soccer Referee's Association and has been inducted into the Albury Wodonga Festival of Sport Hall of Fame.
