On Wednesday 5th March, two Vallajeelt teams took part in the Girls Football Tournament at the Bowl. Vallajeelt FC were placed in a very hard group against teams who had Island players in them. They battled really hard and never lost hope and it was great to see the resilience they showed in every single game.
Vallajeelt United, who came runners-up last year losing on penalties in the final, still had 4 players from that team so were aiming to go that one step further this year. They won all 6 of their group games, scoring 14 goals and only conceding one. They topped their group and were now playing Onchan in the quarter finals which was a very close game with some amazing football played. United edged the game winning 2-1. They then played Marown in the semi-final winning 3-1.
So, just like last year we were playing in the final but this time against Dhoon. The game ended in a draw so just like last year it was the dreaded penalties! A special mention to Keeva, Mila and Naomi who all bravely stepped up to take one and to Lucia for going in goals because this year we did go that one step further and won the tournament! We are so proud of all the girls and we hope they are too!
A huge thank you to all the support we had down at The Bowl, the girls have worked so hard for this in training over the last couple of years. We are the 2025 CHAMPIONS!!!
