Day nine of the U18 Australian Women's Championship was undisturbed by the gale force winds that have hit Melbourne and NSW and ACT have recorded strong victories.

In the opening match the ACT girls easily defeated NT with a solid 5-0 win. It seemed that NSW tried to go one better but came up short in their 4-0 win  against WA.
