I am pleased to announce that the girls have won the Lincs FA Fair Play award for the season 2010/2011.
This is a prestigious award and is a real testimony to the friendly and fair way that the girls play the game.
In the words of the FA:
“this award is made for…showing commitment to Respect and Fair Play which sets an example to others [and] accepting a collective responsibility to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place.
