FOLLOWING on from the success of Crediton Youth Football Club’s last event, it was decided to have a similar format for the Girls’ Section end-of-season presentation event.

The evening started off with a training session for all the girls, followed by food prepared by the mum’s in the clubhouse.

It has been another great season for the girls sides, which saw them collect many cups and trophies along the way.

This season has seen the club run three sides at Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s age groups, and has a membership of more than 50 players.

All the players received their participation medals, and again it was decided in the spirit of the girls section, not to award any individual awards.

Presentations and thanks were given to the managers, coaches and helpers who have all worked so hard during the season.

During the course of the evening two other presentations took place. Nick Cordwent from the Crediton Group of Exeter Leukaemia Fund collected a cheque on behalf of the club for £280.75.

The money was raised from a 50/50 draw, kindly ran by Debbie Sparham and Emma Vodden, during the weekend of the annual six-a-side tournament.

A presentation was also made to Simon Watts, for all his hard work and commitment with the club website.

As the club looks ahead to the new season, it is hoped to run four girls sides with the addition of an Under 10’s side.

It is amazing to think that girls football was only re-launched at the club, just over three years ago. Any players interested in joining should email: [email protected] .
