ABBOTSFORD JUNIORS FOOTBALL CLUB
2018 YEARBOOK
Once again, we cannot praise
our Captain enough! Chrissie
is not only an incredible
midfielder, but she is a
champion on and off the
pitch.
Congratulations to Clare Beech and Grace O’Neill. Clare is a
talented defensive player that leads our back line like a Queen.
Clare has scored four goals, takes a quality corner kick and is just a
top chick! A highlight that comes to mind was when Clare showed
up late and explained, “sorry I’m late, I just ran a half marathon”,
and then went on and scored a goal from the back line and played
an incredible game.
Grace takes home our Golden Boot Award in addition to Player of
the Season. Grace is a fast, skilful and determined player, scoring
an incredible 42 goals for the year. Grace returned from
retirement this year to be our only new recruit. Grace was a
perfect fit for this team on the football pitch and in the middle of
celebratory drinks. Clare and Grace, congratulations on an amazing
season, you fully deserve this award.
The team’s pre-game huddle
is when Chrissie shines, some
last-minute words of advice,
whether it is strategising or
just some persuasive words,
the team never want to let
her down. Also, a big thanks
to Vice Captain Kristen
Weber, who has stepped into
the Captain’s chair when
required. Kristen is also a
brilliant midfielder turned
striker who has notched 21
goals with her foot, or her
head. Kristen was voted the
Players Player Award by the
team.
Our Most Improved player this year is the incredible Mary Sattout.
Mary has developed into an almighty defender, super-fast and
talented. Mary also was awarded our MVP for the final series; she
was instrumental in stopping our opposition from scoring on so
many occasions.
The 2018 ‘Player of the
Season’ had to go to two
players this year. We just
could not split them!
