🏆 𝗡𝗜𝗪𝗙𝗔 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 🏆

Last night, we celebrated an absolutely incredible end to our season as we were officially crowned NIWFA Pathway East League Champions! 🏆💙

And what a way to celebrate, lifting the league trophy together and reflecting on everything this group has achieved. From the first whistle of the season to the final game, this team has shown commitment, resilience, togetherness and a determination that has made us incredibly proud.

🧠 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠

A huge thank you to our coaching team for everything they have given this season.

Our Manager, Thomas Johnston, stepped into his first managerial role this year and has absolutely excelled at every turn. He has led this group brilliantly, adapted the game plan when needed, navigated injuries and challenges, and always found a way to get the best out of the girls.

We genuinely couldn't have done it without you, Jonno.

A massive thank you also to our coaches Neal Gardner and Charlie Brown for their commitment, time and support throughout the season. Your work behind the scenes has played a huge part in this success.

💙 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗦

And of course, our incredible players.
The girls have worked so hard all season, turning up, putting in the work, pushing each other and never giving up. The trophy belongs to every single one of you.

We couldn't be prouder of this group and everything you have achieved together.

A massive thank you to our committee, Louise, Bethany, Vicky, Rachael and Jodie.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to ensure the day-to-day running of the team, and so much of that work never gets seen.

From organising, planning and communication to making sure everything is in place for the players and coaching team, it takes a huge amount of time and effort.

Thank you for everything you have done this season.
