CREDITON FC Youth Under 14’s Girls went into their final home game of the season, already being crowned Devon Girls League champions, after their nearest rivals Plymouth Phoenix could no longer overtake them in the league.

An exciting game against Galmpton Girls, was played out on the main pitch at Lords Meadow.

The Crediton Girls went in at half-time 1-0 up courtesy of an Ellie Bishop goal. Galmpton really turned things around in the second half and at 3-1 seemed to be in control.

A spectacular Millie Robinson goal brought the home side back into the game, before Ellie Bishop grabbed her second of the game to secure a draw for the Crediton side.

Winning the league title was a special moment for the club, as this was the first girls side to be formed, after a break of several years with no girls football at Crediton Youth.

The side was started just four years ago following an initiative from Devon FA. Since then another three sides have been introduced at the club.

Much of the success of the side has been down to the hard work and dedication of all the coaches and helpers involved including Sean Hartrey, Dave Hartshorne, Nikki Sandland and past club chairman Martin Daniel.

Crediton Youth Under 16’s Plate Final against Okehampton Argyle, to be played at Tiverton Town FC’s ground tomorrow, Saturday, May 4, now has a rescheduled kick off time of 5pm.
