I recently attended the last game for my daughter Meg, a long-serving Posh Women midfielder who retired on the last game of this season with a win against Stourbridge.
Lots of our friends and family came to watch her final game, as it’s been such a huge part of all our lives. Watching her play her final game for Peterborough United Women filled me with so much pride and emotion. From the little girl who dreamed of playing football, to the incredible woman who gave nine years, 180 appearances, and so many unforgettable memories to her childhood club, what a journey it’s been!
She’s had to show so much dedication, resilience, passion and heart every single step of the way. There has been sacrifices, injuries, wins, and setbacks… but she’s always handled it all with grace and determination. Seeing her help take the club to new heights and earn promotion makes this ending even more special.
But beyond the football, I’m most proud of the person she’s become. The friendships she’s built throughout her playing career, the players she’s inspired, and the love she’s always had for the game and her team. It truly is remarkable to see how many more opportunities there are for girls and ladies involved in football now, compared to when Meg first started to play.
So, whilst Football may be ending for Meg, I look forward to seeing how the game continues to evolve for the new generation of players enjoying the game. Up the Posh!
Following her final game, she was inducted into the Peterborough United Hall of Fame.
The final send off and celebrations was held at the historic Peterborough Cathedral, the Posh Women's end-of-season ceremony celebrated an incredible, undefeated season.
Meg also received a special recognition Award as part of this event.
