Snake delays AFLW clash in western Sydney

"It's pretty interesting," Giants head of women's football Briana Harvey told Fox Footy during the delay.

"There's a little red-bellied black snake ... just in one of the far pockets.

"Obviously for the safety of everyone here, we need to halt the game for a moment."

A snake catcher arrived soon at the ground to allow play to start.

Starting the season 0-2, the Giants were desperate for a win to keep their season alive.
