The inaugural winners of the 5-a-side competition run by Westmorland County FA were AC Kendal Wattsfield. The team were worthy winners, having gone through the competition over 4 weeks unbeaten.
The team played some great football during the competition, getting plenty of playing time on the astro-turf at Kirkbie Kendal School. Captain Nicola Martindale received the trophy from Peter Ducksbury on the final evening.
Alan Young, Competitions Officer for Westmorland County FA said “The players involved really enjoyed the opportunity to play against other local players and the County FA will be looking to hold a similar competition later on in the year.”
The league was set up to give female players the opportunity to play regular small sided football to go alongside the 11-a-side provision in the Cumbria Women’s League. Future opportunities are now being considered with different formats to suit the needs of local players.
