Penny Cula-Reid

Penny Cula-Reid (born 2 February 1988) is an Australian rules football player playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the AFL Women's competition.

Prior to being signed for the national competition, she was a multiple premiership player in the Victorian Women's Football League and club captain for the St Kilda Sharks; she also represented Victoria at the under 19 national championships. She has also played cricket in the Victorian second XI and gridiron with the Victorian Maidens in the Lingerie Football League.

She was involved in a sex discrimination case when she and two other girls challenged the Moorabbin Saints Junior Football League and Football Victoria Ltd's rules that forbid girls from playing in mixed sex teams after the age of twelve. The case changed the rule from restricting girls from playing in the under 12s to the under 15s, which still prevented Cula-Reid from playing in mixed sex teams. She has been credited with "effectively forcing" AFL Victoria to create a youth girls competition. A documentary, Even Girls Play Footy, was made about the case.

She played two games in the 2017 season.

Cula-Reid is engaged to Melbourne Football Club player Mia-Rae Clifford; the pair have been referred to as the first openly gay couple in the league. In May 2017, she addressed a Melbourne rally in support of marriage equality.
