Women close campaign in third spot

A FINAL-day win over Wirral Phoenix gave Chester FC Women a fourth successive victory and a third placed finish in NWWRFL Division One South.

- 

Under the leadership of new permanent manager Kalvin Williams this campaign, the team have shown resilience and determination despite facing stiff competition.

They finished the season in third place with 43 points from 22 games and a goal difference of 18.

Speaking to the club's website, Williams reflected on the season as a whole.

"The start of the season was very tough, it was a bit of a shock to the system with former manager Martin Fitzsimons leaving the club after him being in the job for the last five years," he said.

"This role was something that I thought that I could do but would not have known until the time came and the timing felt right for me.

"In the first 11 games of the season, we won seven of them and had a club record-equalling FA Cup run.

"Obviously, there have been ups, downs and everything in-between, but overall, I am really pleased with what the team has achieved this year.
