Terrigal United Football Club (TUFC) had a spectacular end to the football season with two teams advancing to the grand final of the Champion of Champions in Sydney on October 23.
After securing the regional premiership, the W12A and the W16A teams progressed through knockout games with other NSW league regional winning teams to make it to the grand final at Valentine Sports Park.
While neither team was victorious on the day, it was a landmark occasion for the Central Coast to see two women’s teams reach the prestigious grand final.
The U12A’s were defeated 0-1 after playing valiant footfall against a more experienced Rockdale side from the St George region.
Coach Alex Powell had arranged for professional soccer player, Sam Kerr, to send them a video message of good luck before the match which was a highlight for the players.
The U16’s went down 4-1 to Shell Harbour during a fast paced and skilful game of football.
Both teams had gone undefeated this year through to the Champion of Champions grand final.
