Everyone at Dorking Wanderers is incredibly sad to hear about the death of Abi Man, who was 18 years old and a key member of our Under 15 JPL girls team in the 2023-24 season.

Abi, pictured here (centre) meeting Raheem Sterling, has been fighting bravely against a long-term illness. She has many friends in the DWFC Women’s teams and we send our condolences to them and her family at this difficult time.

TACTIC LEAGUE W1 CUP DOUBLE WINNERS 25/26! 🏆

During our Celebration Of Achievement event in midweek we recognised & celebrated our Academy Girls success in 25/26, which saw the group win the Tactic League W1 League & Cup Double! 🙌

After competing well in their previous two seasons in the W1, we welcomed more girls than ever before to our post-16 programme ahead of this year's campaign, and from the very beginning of the season this group set themselves high targets & ambitions for the year ahead ⏫️

Going on to lose just twice during the season, the squad demonstrated great consistancy throughout, racking up a few double-figure scoring victories along the way, and, alongside our weekend JPL U18 & U23s sides, truly played their part in what has been the most positive & successful year to date on the girls side of the Dorking Wanderers Academy 👏

The Academy Girls will not only compete again in the Tactic League W1 next term but a squad will also compete in the National Girls League for the very first time in the 26/27 season as well ⏩️

Big thank you to our girls academy sponsors for their brilliant support in 25/26 🤝
