As we now have more than 200 girls and women playing football with us, it is worth appreciating all of our terrific sponsors and volunteers who have helped us get to where we are now.

Firstly, I would like to thank our amazing sponsors; HPS Heating Plumbing Supplies Aldershot, Fraser Dove International, Flourish, Pro-moto, The Gladiator Group and Brewers Decorator Centres. Without these sponsors, we would not have been able to keep our subscription rates as competitive as they are, therefore making our football club accessible to many more players. Thanks to all of you, it is very much appreciated.

A big thank you must also go to our fantastic volunteer coaches and assistant coaches for helping to not only make the training sessions instructive, but also fun so that our players are keen to come along to the next session. Without exception they encourage our footballers to play the beautiful game in the right manner, playing hard but also respecting teammates, opponents, and referees.

Thank you, parents, grandparents, and guardians for not only bringing the girls along to both training sessions and matches, but for also supporting them in a really positive way—if there were points for the best supporters, the Churt Girls FC ones would be top of the list. Thank you, everyone.

Finally, a big shout out to our behind-the-scenes unpaid helpers: those who organise pitches, referees, the website, our welfare officer, treasurer, club secretary and all our volunteers who put in their valuable time to help make Churt Girls FC as successful as it is.

Our club has grown so much, and we are working towards growing it even more over the coming months and years, so please do get in touch with me if you would like to join us, either as a player or become one of our amazing helpers.
