There was plenty to celebrate as Alton FC’s ladies’ section held their annual presentation evening.

For the first time the club fielded two ladies’ sides - the first team, led by Tom Lynn, and the new development team, under the guidance of Wayne Brown.

The award winners were: First team - Ania Godbold (Manager’s Player of the Season), Chelsie Stewart (Coaches’ Player of the Season), Nicola King (Development Award), Chelsie Stewart (Players’ Player of the Season), Grace Haughton (Top Trainer) and Sophie (Young Player of the Season).

Development team - Emily Clarke (Manager’s Player of the Season), Lucy Mandell (Coaches’ Player of the Season), Megan Knight (Top Trainer), Leanne King (Development Award), Lucy TM (Players’ Player of the Season) and Poppy (Young Player of the Season).

A club spokesperson said: “What a season we had together. As we end 2024-25, we continue to be proud of everything we’ve achieved here at Alton Ladies. Presentation night was high energy and fun, bringing everyone together to celebrate how far we’ve come.

“Our youth teams continue to thrive, many finishing respectably for their relevant year and all achieving a high standard of competitive football. It’s an absolute delight to see two young players coming through to the ladies’ teams this season and both achieving the Young Player of the Season awards.

“As we look forward to 2025-26, both the first team and the development team will look to fight hard for the top spots in their divisions. Well done to all of you!”
