Massive Congratulations to Lucy & Tiffany for there Volunteering awards.

Both committee members have made a massive ripple this year in America and flag football not only with the university team but also helping and playing in local teams.

Originally only meant to be running our media and looking after Kit these two have stepped up massively to help the club. Becoming wellbeing & coaches and our charity officers, Gaining coaching qualifications & umpire qualifications & first aid qualifications. Helping with sideline duties for other teams and starting a new flag football team for the next academic year.
All along side there degrees and jobs.

In a sport that’s often dominated by men these two really have shown the great effect ladies have in the game on the pitch and on the sidelines helping too.

The work these ladies have done this year will have a lasting effect on the football community and we couldn’t be prouder 👏 👏 👏
