The Four of Wands indicates that plans have begun to bear fruit and that desires are being attained. The appearance of this card suggests that all the hard work is not only being rewarded but that the creative project one has embarked on has the potential to develop even further. More hard work and commitment may be demanded but it will be worth it.
Everything about the contribution Cheryl Salisbury made to women’s football and the Matilda’s Football team oozes with Four of Wands energy. A pioneer of women’s football, Salisbury became Australia’s most-capped player of either gender and has been credited with being a driving force behind the Matildas becoming a true contender in the world game.
Matildas all-time cap leader Cheryl Salisbury has been named alongside a plethora of Australian male footballers into the Australian Sports Hall of Fame.
Salisbury joined the likes of John Warren, Harry Kewell and Ray Baartz in admittance to Australian sport’s premier pantheon, becoming the first Matilda to do so.
Salisbury captained the Matildas for seven years from 2003 until she retired in 2009, having played in four World Cups in 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2007 as well as the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Olympic Games, and the 2006 and 2008 Football Confederation Women’s Asian Cups. At the Sydney Olympics she scored Australia’s first ever goal at that level and at the 2007 World Cup she scored the goal -with effectively the last kick of the game -that secured Australia’s passage to the quarterfinals for the first time.
Salisbury’s dedication was fully recognised when she inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2019 as an Athlete Member for her contribution to the sport of football.
