The Collone YFC girls came out on top and were crowned the YFCU junior football champions.

A big congratulations to these girls as they showed determination right from the heats to the final.

It was a nervous final for the girls as it went to penalties for both the semi-final and the final, but the girls showed great determination and came out on top.

The girls played 11 games in total, scored 16 goals and only conceded one.
