Little rant. Maybe it's just my research background, don't know, but last few months have been frustrating, disappointing, when too many times we've seen history forgotten and research be really lazy in regards to women's football in Wales. Recent statistics and articles from too many that have been produced have been incredibly disappointing when basic research hasn't been done. I won't mention specific ones, as it's unfair and publicity is good, but accuracy is important and only fair to those in the past. Women's football in Wales existed before the Adran Leagues. Women's football exists below it. It's certainly been represented in Europe before this year, crazy that that's even got to be clarified. The more people that ignore that or don't acknowledge it, the less likely we're to grow it in a way that truly reflects the work done before from those that invested their time into it when others wouldn't. I hate being negative, but it's something that has to be said. It's been a year of growth and record breaking numbers for Welsh women's football, let's keep it that way whilst remembering how we got there.

Then ⏭️ Now 🏆 Five years after their first-ever match, @WgtnPhoenixFC are in their first-ever @aleaguewomen Grand Final 💛 What a journey for the ‘Nix, who take on Melbourne City in the Grand Final tomorrow night at 6:15pm NZT 🇳🇿

John Salomon will take permanent charge of @Lionesses U19s while Remi Allen joins the U23s as assistant coach, as part of further changes to the Young Lionesses coaching set-up.

I interviewed Sam Kerr during Covid and when I logged on to the Zoom she pretended she couldn’t hear me. After a minute of panicking she said she had been joking and grinned😅 That was my first “big” interview and is still one of my favourites. English football will miss her.

After six-and-a-half years at @ChelseaFCW, Sam Kerr will leave the club when her contract expires this summer. The Australia international departs as Chelsea’s fourth-highest appearance maker, featuring 177 times and scoring 115 goals in blue. 📸 Emily Bittarello

@beckytaylorgill Agreed. Baffled that we’re not seeing more teams from the continent on it.

Sorry I am an original world 7s stan but that line up is dire

All part of the journey, excited for the next challenge 🤍

Man City would like their academy team to join Tier3. "We'd definitely be open to it," MCFC's Charlotte O'Neill says. "We're very mindful of the impact that has on the #FAWNL and respectful of various positions but, would I love to be able to? Absolutely." theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@Andyecook 👏👏👏

You have to earn the right to play. Nothing is ever guaranteed, nothing is ever given. You have to work hard and you have to give yourself completely to a club and a team.
