⚽ Tournament Day for the Panthers! ⚽

The Panthers took part in our very first tournament at Bolton Town FC last Sunday, and what a fantastic day it was!

The girls played some brilliant football throughout the group stages, finishing strongly and showing great teamwork, determination, and skill. Their performances earned them a place in the semi-finals,
where they came up against a very strong side. The girls competed superbly, but unfortunately it wasn't to be our day as the match was decided on penalties.

Despite the result, every single player should be incredibly proud.

The girls represented the club brilliantly, played with smiles on their faces, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A special shout-out goes to Leni, who was awarded our Player of the Tournament after an outstanding display throughout the day.

Well done, Panthers – you were all magnificent and should be proud of everything you achieved today! 💚💚💚⚽️⚽️⚽️

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: BEYOND THE SCORELINE ⚽️✨

Sometimes, the result isn't about the numbers on a scoreboard. It’s about heart. It's about resilience. It's about a team that simply refuses to give up. 💚

Our U17s team faced the ultimate test on Bank Holiday Monday in The BBDFL Final. And let us tell you, we could not be PROUDER.

The Challenge:
💥 A Mountain to Climb: We lined up against the league champions, a fantastic side we had lost to 2-5 earlier in the season with a full squad. We knew this was the definition of a challenge.

🔥 Extreme Heat: Temperatures soared over 32°C on a completely exposed pitch.

📉 Short-handed: Due to injuries and the fixture date conflicting with Bank Holidays and Half Term, we had only 10 HEROES take the field against a very good 12 of Prestwich AllStars FC.

The Match & The TRUE Spirit:
From the first whistle, our girls gave it everything they had. Outnumbered, in suffocating heat, they fought for every ball and covered every blade of grass. Their effort was monumental.

The game was rightly abandoned at half-time following a player collapse due to the intense conditions. We are incredibly grateful to the opposing coaches and officials who agreed with this decision instantly—player welfare is EVERYTHING.

PLAYER STATUS UPDATE: The player is recovering safely and is well on the road to recovery. A massive thank you to everyone who helped immediately.

This isn't just about a single match. Look at the journey. This squad started with 17 players, navigated a massive dip in mid-season numbers that would have folded many teams, and STILL fought their way to finish RUNNERS UP in the LEAGUE CUP!

That is the definition of a resilient squad. Any club or manager looking for players with true grit, unbreakable team bond, and a refuse-to-quit attitude needs to pay attention to this group.

This is the definition of talent with character.

Head held high, girls. You have done us all incredibly proud. ⚽️💚⚽️💚

Good Luck to our u17/18 in the The BBDFL Cup final today.

The 2026/27 season will soon be HERE — and we're looking for the next generation of Green Army players. 🌱⚡💚

Academy Juniors FC is officially open for registrations for the 2026/27 season — and we want YOUR daughter in our squad.
