Yesterday was our end of season presentation.
We had a great afternoon celebrating a fantastic first season in an U8’s girls league.
The difference between when we first started to now is incredible. The girls have grown in confidence and skill and made amazing friendships with their team mates. You can’t teach that, they just gel and it’s so lovely to see them interacting with one another on and off the pitch.
We started with some Thank you’s to our sponsors.
David (Allsop Building), Chris (C.Reeves Plumbing & Heating), Joe (TRT Rigging Ltd) and Dan Hart. Their sponsorship bought us kits, equipment and helped us start our first season with everything we needed so huge Thank you to you guys.
Thanks also to Michael Ryan for his help and assistance this season, particularly stepping up to referee so that Jamie could do his thing on the sidelines.
We then wanted to say a big Thank you to Chrissy Murray for being an awesome Assistant Coach, taking over from Nicki. The girls have loved having you on the team, helping at training, sorting them out at matches and generally being great.
Then on to the awards. We asked the parents and players to vote for Parents Player, Players Player and Most Improved.
PARENTS PLAYER: Nuala
PARENTS PLAYER: Darcey H
PLAYERS PLAYER: Darcie R
PLAYERS PLAYER: Victoria
MOST IMPROVED: Faith
MOST IMPROVED: Orla
GOLDEN BOOT: Nuala
GOLDEN BOOT: Darcie R
We then had a difficult decision about who to pick for MP. All the girls should be super proud of themselves this season and what they’ve achieved. All the girls have a story and have been on a wonderful journey, we couldn’t just pick one, it wouldn’t be fair so instead…
MANAGERS PLAYER: Everyone!
We lastly want to say a huge Thank you to the parents, grandparents and the siblings dragged along, for showing up each week, whatever the weather, cheering us on, building us up, and believing in us. We love the girls and we love this team. Bring on Season 2026/27 - Go Kites!
