01.12.2023 - the day our lives changed forever, Welcome to the world Olivia Sophia Belot ❤️
Settling into life as a family of three & my new challenging job of being a mum 🌎🥰
Ps. Hoping for a win for her first football game watching SWNT play tonight on tv on her due date⚽️🏴
RIP Andy! 😢I gave Andy a lift from Cormack Park when the girls festival was cancelled earlier this year. He asked if I could drop him to the shops to get shopping for local older people and must have said thank you 1000 times. This act of kindness opitomises the person he was ⭐️
The Club is deeply saddened to hear of Andrew Cheyne’s passing.
‘Andy at the Gate’ was renowned for offering guests a heartfelt and friendly welcome. Andy had an infectious personality and was an outstanding ambassador for AFC. He will be sorely missed by everyone.
RIP Andy.
Loved this tonight. 4 media teams attended, 280 girls playing, hundreds of parents watching, all to meet our captain

‘Having more than one competitive senior women’s team is important if the game wants to continue to grow in the north. For this to happen, it is also important clubs with a women’s or girls’ program are fully invested in them’
