🏆⚽ THAT’S A WRAP ON ANOTHER FNWFA SEASON! ⚽🏆
Well, another season has come to an end, and what a season it has been! 🔥
The final whistle may have blown, but before we put our feet up, there was still some silverware to hand out as we celebrated some of the outstanding individual performances from across the FNWFA. 👏
⚽ TOP GOALSCORER AWARD ⚽
Across the season, FNWFA teams found the net an incredible 728 times in local and national competitions, excluding walkovers!
🥅 523 — Culloden Cars Welfare League

🥅 47 — Mathesons Calum Riddell Cup
🥅 59 — AJ Engineering FNWFA Cup
🥅 2 — Top Car Services Shaka Cup

And when it came to finding the back of the net, these three were leading the charge:
🥉 3rd — Cairn Lasley, Lossie Utd Amateurs — 21 goals
🥈 2nd — Simon Loban — 22 goals
Simon managed to turn out for no fewer than THREE clubs this season! 👀⚽

🙌 A MASSIVE THANK YOU! 🙌
And that’s us done for another season!
A huge thank you to every single team, player, manager, referee, volunteer and committee member who has helped make this season such an enjoyable one.
And of course, a massive thank you to all our sponsors. Without their continued support, none of this would be possible. 👏
Finally, to the people who make grassroots football what it is…
THE SUPPORTERS! ❤️⚽
Thank you to everyone who turned up throughout the season, stood on the sidelines, braved the weather, cheered the goals and supported the teams.
Your support doesn’t go unnoticed. 👏
The season might be over…
But what a season it was! 🔥
