AFLNT are thrilled to announce Darwin Buffaloes premiership player, NT Thunder Women’s inaugural player and NTFL Representative Kylie Duggan as the Northern Territory’s 2022 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador.
Seven community football representatives from across Australia have been acknowledged for their outstanding contribution to women’s football as part of the 2022 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador program.
Established in 2021, the program recognises members from the football community who have been instrumental in facilitating and nurturing the remarkable growth of women’s and girls’ football.
Kylie has done it all – from coaching junior Darwin Buffaloes sides, to managing teams. She’s been involved in mentoring and assisting other coaches during training and game days for multiple sporting codes including her work with the Tracy Village Jets, Basketball team.
As captain of the Darwin Buffettes Women’s Premier League side in the NTFL , Kylie gives up her personal time to attend extra training sessions, to give advice and be a friendly face to all young females within the club. Kylie’s impact is unmeasurable and widely known throughout the sporting community. Her leadership, dedication, talent, and community work with young women is outstanding.
AFL General Manager of Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said the 2022 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador program provided a great opportunity to thank and acknowledge the tireless work of community representatives who contribute to women’s football.
Community Football Manager NT, Leigh Elder praises “Duggan is a stalwart of the Darwin Buffaloes Football Club and in Northern Territory Football. Her passion for our game and its growth makes her a very fitting ambassador for female football in the Territory.”
Each 2022 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador receives a $1,000 grant from the Women’s Football Fund to donate to the club of their choice, a virtual networking event hosted by AFL General Manager of Women’s Football, Nicole Livingstone and the opportunity to be involved in the 2022 NAB AFLW Season Seven Finals Series.
