But next season the team intends to skip an age group and play in an Under 14 League.

Head coach Inneh Aig‑Imoru said: “Winning the League Cup two years in a row is an incredible achievement on its own, but to add the league title last season shows just how much these girls have grown as a team. Their work ethic, skill, and togetherness have been outstanding from start to finish.”

Netherton beat Ely 2-1 in the Under 12 League Cup Final at Newmarket Town FC as they confirmed their reputation for resolute defending, fluid attacking play and a relentless team spirit.

The club are seeking players to play at Under 14 girls level. Girls from school years 7 & 8 interested in playing can e-mail [email protected].
