Ellie La Monte, Madison Gilpin, Laura Dickinson and Sydney Carnie earn Tasmania call-up

The match will be played before the A-League Men's fixture between Western United and Macarthur FC on April 19, who both return to Northern Tasmania after playing at UTAS Stadium in February.

Launceston United have been well-represented in the side with four players in the representative squad which is recognition for their good start to the year.

United are recognised across every line with Sydney Carnie selected as one of two goalkeepers in the squad while defender Laura Dickinson made the cut.

"We've got our youngest keeper in Sydney Carnie ... she's really looking to improve as well and develop her game which she has done really well but this will be a slight surprise for her but in a good way," United co-coach Frank Compton said.

"She was just looking to get her head down again but [her] performance when the right people are watching is what got her this option.

"She'll give her best and she's a really sensible, professional person."

Compton praised Dickinson's pre-season which has led to a good start in defence in their Women's Super League campaign.

"I think she'll be super stoked to get a shot because she has worked really hard this summer and in the pre-season and her first few games have been impressive outings," he said.

"She impressed when people were watching last week in a big game for us, it's just her work ethic [that] is something I feel gets a lot of attention, she'll run down the ball all day long."

Madison Gilpin is a chance to suit up in midfield for the select XI and link up with United's star attacker Ellie La Monte.

"Maddie Gilpin has played a lot of Northern Championship ... we've seen a steady head with Maddie for quite a while now and she would be our pick to go in any midfield," Compton said.

"I am really glad that she got in there."

La Monte capped her good week with a brace against the Devonport Strikers to ensure United secured another victory in the Women's Super League with a 2-1 win at Valley Road.

"Ellie La Monte is the newest of four, she came across with a clear intention of trying to push her career forward, so this is a really exciting step for her and she is really excited about it," Compton said.

"She's explosive, excitable and she's really entertaining to watch, the girls have reacted well to her, she's a likeable character and I hope that it goes well in the rep team."

Western United are set to join the A-League Women's competition for the 2022-23 season after being granted a licence in September.

The squad began training regularly in October with the UTAS Stadium fixture marking a rare occasion for Western United fans to see the side in action before their A-League Women's entrance.

Western United's women's academy coach Mark Torcaso said his players were looking forward to their trip south and testing themselves against Tasmania.

"The chance to travel with the Men's A-League team to Tassie and play in a curtain-raiser is an opportunity of a lifetime. To be able to have a game against an exciting Tassie team on a big stage at a great ground is something we can't wait for.

"It's also exciting to have the opportunity to view some of Tasmania's most talented female players, and is also a great opportunity for those young ladies. If they impress on the pitch you never know what could happen."

Football Tasmania chief executive Matt Bulkeley welcomed the initiative as a positive step.

"We're looking forward to seeing a strong local crowd get behind the team in what is sure to be an exciting afternoon of football in Launceston," he said.
