Lugarno FC

OUR 16A GIRLS!

All season, these girls have shown up, dug deep and fought hard to earn their place on the ladder.

They’ve battled injuries, played with the bare minimum, called on younger players to step up when needed, and through every challenge, they’ve continued to grow stronger — both individually and as a team.

Today, they showed exactly who they are and what they’re capable of. They played with heart, determination and fire right until the end.

While it may not have been the result they were chasing, Grand Final runners-up is an achievement to be incredibly proud of. It takes a huge season to make it this far, and these young ladies have earned every bit of that success.

The growth we’ve seen from this team has been something special, and we have no doubt that next year will bring even bigger and better things.

We know these girls will be back, ready to bring the fire once again.

Congratulations to our 16A girls on a brilliant season. Hold your heads high — you’ve done yourselves, your team and Lugarno FC proud.

Lugarno FC’s AAWC side delivered a grand final for the ages. Facing minor premiers Hurstville Zagreb, they started with confidence and purpose, moving the ball with intent and unsettling their highly‑rated opponents. Two composed first‑half goals gave Lugarno a 2–0 lead that reflected their bravery and sharpness in the big moments.

But grand finals are never straightforward. The second half belonged to Hurstville Zagreb, who controlled possession and pinned Lugarno deep. The pressure eventually cracked the door open, first a goal, then an equaliser moments later. At 2–2, the match felt like it was slipping away.

Lugarno were exhausted, but not beaten. They steadied themselves, slowed the game down, and began to win key moments again. A break down the left opened the space they needed. A perfectly timed through‑ball sent the Lugarno striker clear, and with the keeper charging out, she showed incredible composure to guide the ball home. 3–2 — a goal that will live long in club memory.

The final minutes were agony. Lugarno supporters had swelled in number and were nervously asking the linesman how long was left. His reply: “Normal time is up, it’s up to the referee now.” And with two Lugarno players having spent several minutes down earlier in the half after a head clash and a nose injury, everyone knew injury time would feel like an eternity.

And then, the whistle. Full time. Lugarno FC crowned grand final winners after one of the gutsiest performances you’ll ever see.
