Condolences to the family and many friends of Jacinda Barclay. In 2017 I helped her write this piece about her sporting dreams, triumphs and battles. She came across as a feisty, brave, beautiful soul. Gone much too soon. https://t.co/Qs9ZFg3zeC

Absolutely devastating. Growing up around Jacinda, she was a trailblazer for women’s sport - from kicking all the boys’ butts in a backyard wrestle to paying her way around the world for baseball, gridiron & footy. She had an infectious smile & a zest for life. Rest In Peace. https://t.co/9KYi8abEWo

Female football is very wide spread and intertwined - round ball and oval... chances are you know someone who is grieving today. Reach out. Stay with them even if you didn’t know Jacinda Barclay personally, chances are her death is impacting your friends. Strength to all today x
