Most popular female Australian (and NZ) sport related Twitter accounts (January 7)
This is an updated version of from November 13 , November 16, November 18 , November 24, and December 1, and December 11. I got distracted by life, the holidays, a major sporting controversy and Australian politics or I would have posted an updated version sooner. If you want one and it has been a while, just comment and I’ll post it as soon as I can. Since December 11, I don’t believe I have added many accounts to this list. It would be nice to find out who else I’m missing and who joined Twitter over the holidays. Please let me know who I’m missing!
