As the curtain falls on the 2024/25 season, our Chorley FC U18 Women came together for a night of celebration, reflection, and recognition last weekend; marking the end of what can only be described as the season of all seasons.
Our incredible ladies achieved something truly historic this year, securing a remarkable quadruple. The team clinched both the GMWFL League and Cup as well as the ELFA League and Cup, demonstrating not only their talent but also their relentless determination and unity.
It’s been a season filled with unforgettable moments, unwavering team spirit, and a bond that has made this group stand out. Their "never give up" attitude was on full display week in and week out, earning them not just trophies but the admiration of everyone who witnessed their journey.
A special and heartfelt thank you goes to the amazing group of parents who have supported the team throughout the season — ferrying players across the North West every weekend, come rain or shine. Your dedication and commitment made all of this possible. On behalf of the whole club: thank you.
In addition, a huge thank you and well done to the coaches and the players for achieving such milestones in 2024/25.
Looking Ahead
The football club are very excited about what lies ahead. Next season, the team will continue at U18 level, while also taking a huge and inspiring step forward — becoming the club’s first ever Women’s Open Age Team. A proud moment in our club’s history and a testament to how far this group has come.
