Season 22 Division 1 League Champions - Pepe Pigs 🏆

As well as winning the league, we hope they enjoy their meal out as a team at Donkey Derby 🍽🍻

Pepe Pigs have been with us since part way through Season 14 all the way back in October 2024! ⚽ Alex's men have slow improved with each season and this time round managed to secure the Division 1 title! 🏆

Pepe Pigs more than impressed in their opening matches with back-to-back victories over LFC and Bits and Bobs FC before edging out Six Offenders in a 13 goal thriller! ⚽ Shambolic FC held Alex and co to a score draw but Pepe would soon get back to winning ways 🤝 A sensational five game winning streak ensued as Pepe secured the league title with one game to spare 🥳⚽🏆

Declan is the superstar keeper for the mighty Pepe Pigs as he's made big saves in big moments 🧤 George and Harvie are stalwarts in defence and their teamwork has ensured the team keeps opposition chances to a minimum 💪 Ash, Ethan, Olly and Alex dictate play in the middle of midfield as these lads always retain the ball and pick the right pass 👏 Oliver and Niki are the attacking powerhouses up front as their link up play and clinical finishing has fired Pepe Pigs to 34 goals in just 9 matches 💥⚽
