Team Mendip won the female club of the year at the Somerset Football League annual awards held in Taunton.

TEAM Mendip have been honoured with a coveted award at this year’s Somerset Football League annual awards ceremony held at Somerset County Cricket Club.

The club received a letter inviting them to the ceremony due to wining an award. However, the letter did not state what the award was for, which kept the members guessing right up until the award of female club of the season was handed over on the night.

Chairman James Lucas said: “Winning this award was amazing for everyone involved with the club. Andy Stallard and myself, who set the club up, would like to thank all the managers, coaches and helpers for making this club great, in particular head coach Jack Edgar, who came into the club three years ago and has helped steer us in the right direction with his coaching skills and becoming vice-chairman in the process.”

Mendip run football sessions for girls from the age of six-years-old, right the way through to ladies football.
