Following a successful season last time, it looked as if the team fell just short of promotion, even though the girls won 12, drew one and lost only three out of 16 matches.
 
However a reshuffle of the league has meant a well-deserved promotion after all, and the girls received their medals at a low-key presentation during last week’s training session.
 
While the players agreed it would have been nice to have received the recognition at the club’s end-of-season presentation evening, they were at least happy to have a medal to show for their achievements.
 
Promotion will mean a hard season ahead, with a move up in class with the other top teams from around Norfolk. Hopefully, the team will rise to the challenge and enjoy this season as much as they did the last.
 
And with a new match format change, moving from seven-a-side to nine-a-side games, the club now has the opportunity of increasing the squad size with new players that want to try football.
 
Any girls from years 3 to 7 are welcome to come along to the friendly, girls-only sessions. Contact: Paul Willmott 07926 004994.
