Good morning. It was nail-biting stuff as the Matildas’ run at the Fifa Women’s World Cup came to an end with a defeat to England in front of another capacity crowd at Sydney’s Stadium Australia. A stunning goal from Sam Kerr in the second half wasn’t enough to turn the tide as the Lionesses ran away as 1-3 winners to make the final on Sunday. It’s been quite a World Cup journey.
Meanwhile, the Armidale diocese is being sued over alleged abuse by a priest but claims it cannot get a fair trial because he is now dead and cannot give evidence. It is a legal tactic that has drawn widespread criticism.
