What a game. What a team. What a journey. ๐๐
This weekend we faced Gravesend once again โ a fixture that felt particularly special for us.
When we first played Gravesend last season, it was our very first ever game as a Sittingbourne Womenโs team. We had just 7 of our own players, with incredible support from local clubs helping us get a side on the pitch. Gravesend took a huge lead that day, but that game was the beginning of something very special.
Fast forward to this weekend and what a difference.
13 Sittingbourne players took to the pitch, including two girls making their Sittingbourne debuts, and the progress was there for everyone to see.
Gravesend brought some seriously speedy runners who used their pace brilliantly, finding the space and making the most of every opportunity. Our two tries came through something that summed up our performance perfectly โ power, drive and determination. We fought hard for every metre and never stopped pushing forward.
The scoreline might not reflect how far weโve come, but this was a fight. Confidence is growing, players are flourishing and the drive within this team is only getting stronger.
A huge thank you to the local clubs who supported us by lending players โ we genuinely couldnโt do this without you. ๐๐
๐ Players of the Match: Olivia Carle & Laura Warne โ thoroughly deserved!
A special thank you to our sponsor Gina at LittleMissFitness for providing a special Player of the Match award, presented to Lauren Windsor. A kind and generous gesture to add to an already amazing day. ๐๐
And to Gravesendโ thank you for another brilliant game. It was a pleasure to play you again and the perfect way to start this new chapter.
From 7 of our own players to 13. From finding our feet to finding our fight.
Now onto the Inner Warrior Series. We cannot wait. ๐๐๐
Itโs only up from here.
