The AWSA ran the women's game until it was absorbed into the FFA in the 2000's. It's Senior National Championships were first held in 1974, before Youth (changed between Under 16-19's over the years) and Junior (ranged from Under 15-16's at times) versions were late added.
The programmes range from small, typrewritten and photocopied efforts to glossy printed brochures. They are a great time capsule for the state of the game at the time, and showcase how the tournaments traveled to different host cities or towns each year. Most have the squad lists for each of the competing states and territories.
It's a shame the couldn't have a full wrap up of the previous year's tournament (scores, scorers, line-ups) as that information now appears to be gone forever. It's disappointing that in the latter years the stalwarts milestones were only able to measured in terms of number of tournaments they went to, rather than the number of games played (and goals scored).
The programmes can be found on the general Programmes page and scrolling down until the mid-1970's.

I've tried completing a history of the tournaments by adding to the lists published in them and here's what I've been able to come up with. Still a little more to do, and it should probably be expanded to include stuff like player of the tournament where it was awarded etc but that will have to be another thing added to the backburner for now.
