To see the women join Sydney's training session...

The home side will see Sydney-based Garriock and Sarah Walsh, joined by a number of Matildas World Cup stars including skipper Cheryl Salisbury, Asian player of the year nominee Collette McCallum, and Canberra duo Sally Shipard and Caitlin Munoz.

Dynamic Matildas striker Lisa De Vanna will play her first match of the Women's A-League Challenge where she will be joined by fellow guest player Kate Gill in the Queensland Roar forward line. Brisbane's Alicia Ferguson, Clare Polkinghorne and Joanne Burgess will complete the contingent of World Cup squad members.

“It's going to be a good exhibition match for the general public and with quite a few Matildas on show, the fans will get to see what we're all about,” Heather told au.fourfourtwo.com.

Sydney FC women play Queensland women in the early match (kick of 4.25pm), before Sydney and Glory clash at 7pm.

“Absolutely it's a really important game as we're getting the A-League up and running next so this will be the base for it. I don't think too many fans have seen womens' football except for the Matildas so it'll be new to them. Hopefully we can put on a good show and entertain.

“In the first game there was a goals extravaganza. We hope for the same.”

The 24-year-old wing back trained on the SFS with teteammates Teresa Polios and Elysse Perry on Friday before joining FC players Terry McFlynn, Iain Fyfe and Alex Brosque for a kick.

Teenager Polios has inside knowledge of the Sydney FC men's side as the pocket rocket midfielder attends Endeavour Sports High with young FC defender Nick Tsattalios.

Garriock feels next year's Women's A-League – which has stated financial support from the new federal labour government – should mirror the men's version.

“I think it has to be A-League based,” she said. “It has worked so far and men's football is right behind us. They're looking at next October to get it up and running, which will be great."

Some have also suggested a state based version of the league should be considered.

“I do think there is enough quality to spread over seven or eight teams. With football being the fastest growing sport in the country we need to produce the quality to have that quality.”

She added: “I do get jealous seeing the guys training full-time. I'd love to be a full-time player and I'm sure it'll come over the next few years. That's the goal. We train as much as the guys, it's just the money factor.”

Garriock predicted four or five Matildas would end up in the US pro league in 2009. However she added that if there were clashes with timing of each league, she'd plump for Australia.

“Hey, c'mon. I want to be captain of Sydney FC!”
