🏅 Player of the Match 🏅

Today's Player of the Match, proudly sponsored by The Archer Bar & Bistro, goes to Tayla McNeil.

Tayla led from the front with an outstanding defensive display, consistently putting her body on the line and working tirelessly for the team. Her performance was capped off with a special moment as she wore the captain's armband for the first time in the closing stages of the match.

A well-deserved recognition for a player who gave everything for the badge. Congratulations, Tayla! 👏⚽️

Thank you to The Archer Bar & Bistro for their continued support of our Women's First Team and for sponsoring today's Player of the Match award. 💚
