Mary Fowler shortlisted for PFA Player of the Year gong
Australian star Mary Fowler is on the six-person shortlist for the Professional Footballers' Association Women's Player of the Year award. Voted for by fellow professional players, Fowler was included, along with teammate Yui Hasegawa, following her most productive Women's Super League season to date for Manchester City. They are joined by Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey from European champions Arsenal, Erin Cuthbert from WSL champions Chelsea, and Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Also in the running for the PFA Young Player of the Year gong, 22-year-old Fowler picked up six goals and seven assists in the campaign, and her two goal involvements in four successive WSL matches set a competition record in February. Despite having her season cut short by injury in April, the Matildas star was the only City player to reach double figures in goals and assists in all competitions. Japan international midfielder Hasegawa - who won City's Player of the Season award - completed the most dribbles in the WSL across the campaign and was involved in more shot-ending sequences than any other player in her position. She also won possession more times than any other player in the top flight across the season. Russo scored eight times in Arsenal's European success and was joint top scorer in the WSL with 12 goals. Her teammate Caldentey managed nine goals and five assists in the WSL and added eight more in the Champions League. The winner will be announced at the PFA Awards ceremony in Manchester on August 19.

After eating a portion of the meal, the Adelaide woman kept picking away at the stir fry until she noticed something was off.

Qatar Airways partners with Virgin Australia, directly competes with Qantas
Sky News host Ross Greenwood discusses Qatar Airways' 25 per cent ownership in Virgin Australia, claiming Qantas will now have more international competition after the Australian Government 'knocked back' Qatar Airways in the past. 'Qatar, you know, sort of, is obviously, been this week named as the best airline in the world,' Mr Greenwood told Sky News host Steve Price. 'The key for that is really that they own now 25 per cent of Virgin – Virgin is about to list on the Australian Stock Exchange, or re-list after it had previously gone broke. 'Given the fact that in the past, Qatar has really tried to get more flights into Australia, been knocked back by the Australian Government, and whether this tie-up now really does mean it's going to create more international competition for Qantas.'
