I work in the largest prison in the UK.
It's a male prison, category C.
It holds a maximum of 2,100 prisoners.
I'm actually a manager there now.
I've been there 5 1/2 years.
I used to be a POELT mentor which was, um,
where you introduce, like, the new starters
to the prison, so I've done loads of tours.
So I'll just give you one of them type of tours.
So we've got a custodial caf,
where you can stop and go and get some food.
A reception area, which--
the prisoners come off these GEOAmey buses,
head through reception.
Kitchen's here on the left.
Food for over 1,800 prisoners.
You just kind of have to make yourself aware.
Like, you have to have trust in your staff,
but also back yourself.
Never put yourself in an unsafe position.
Of course, we're taught, you know,
how to look after ourselves, how to protect ourselves.
Use all the tools that you have--
a baton, handcuffs, radio.
Alert staff whenever you need them.
I found myself being in this line of work
because I'm not the type of person that can
sit still or sit in an office.
It's so hands-on.
You're kind of free to be yourself.
That's where I flex.
Like this.
And it's a people's business, at the end of the day.
You know, you're working with people.
We're--we're there as parents, as teachers,
as health care, firefighters.
It's an emergency service job.
Oh, I follow you.
I feel proud every day to put the uniform on,
to clip the belt on.
The job that I do is difficult.
It's emotionally straining.
It's hard work, but it's also rewarding.
I've had family members that have been in prison.
I grew--grew up going to visit prisons.
I've seen my sister in prison, my brother,
you know, so it wasn't new to me.
Um, and I know they're just humans,
at the end of the day.
So it's easy for me to, you know, be there.
No, I don't think so. I think we're pretty much...
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Wrexham.
And wow, what an occasion we've got here.
Wrexham playing at the Racecourse.
The atmosphere here is fantastic.
The crowds are wonderful.
- Let's go, Wrexham! - Up Wrexham!
Come on, Jonesy. Come on!
One thing that a lot of people don't know and realize
is that the number one goal scorer for Wrexham
is not Paul Mullin.
It's not Ollie Palmer. It's not Elliot Lee.
It's not Sam Dalby.
It's Rosie Hughes.
[indistinct]
Clears it now. White is on the chase.
Will she get there first? Yes, she does.
She knocks it past the player.
Hughes now up against the last defender with White,
and it's a first one-on-one.
Hughes passed, and Hughes got a goal!
Wrexham take the lead.
It had to be Rosie Hughes.
It had to be.

kicking the living shit out of everyone.

It's not just the men at Wrexham Football Club.
There is a women's section.
It's very similar on the women's side
to the men's side.
The women are in a really good, strong position
to be challenging for promotion.
♪ It's a moment when I pull up on the scene ♪

We are the women's first team,

Looking for promotion to get up

which is where we want to be.
So many people are looking at our results
and our players
because our players are special,
and they deserve every bit of attention that they get.
♪ It's a moment when I pull up on the scene ♪
♪ Let's go ♪
I am Wrexham's goal scorer.
I'm a nuisance. I'm--I'm a pain.
Defenders do not want to defend me.
I've scored three hat tricks in one game before,
against my former team, which, you know, sorry,
but I love every goal.
Yes!
Rosie Hughes, character-wise,
is--is great to have around.
Very uplifting, confident individual.
♪ Burn it up all day, all night ♪
♪ Never get enough ♪
When I'm on the pitch,
a fire within me, it just kind of explodes.
I look like I'm laughing
in the opponents' faces, but I'm not.
I'm just-- I'm just happy for me.
♪ It's a moment when I pull up on the scene ♪
You can see on the pitch,
the quality of touch is fabulous.
And, you know, the pitch isn't perfect,
but she tames it superbly.
She's ludicrous.
♪ All eyes on me when I pull up ♪
♪ Let's go ♪
Thank you.
I'd love to sign it.
I do believe that I'm the female Paul Mullin.
Not that I'm gonna compare myself to him,
'cause I feel like he's the male Rosie Hughes.
I know exactly how he feels,
and I'm sure he knows how I feel.
I've got girls shouting my name on the pitch
and, like, coming to watch us.
Like, for me, that's everything.
That's all I've ever wanted, is people
just to come and watch me play football.
Granted, it's not in front of a load of viewers,
which I would love.
Wrexham, Wrexham, Wrexham!
That's--that's just the thing.
The Wrexham women's home games are not at the Racecourse.
We're here in Rhos, one of the satellite towns
just outside Wrexham.
We play at Rhos Aelwyd's grounds.
We have one small stand,
which actually isn't open to the public.
There's no bleachers.
It's just people with a metal barrier
around the pitch leaning on it and watching it.
Must be a couple of hundred here,
but this is growth.
That's all right. That's okay.
It's all about the knock-on effect, really.
It's--you know, with the men's team winning yesterday,
um, I think a few more are starting to become interested
in the women's side as well, which is--
which can only benefit, you know, the girls.
They want-- they want supporters here to--
you know, to be here and--
and encourage them and support them.
So we're on the start of--of what is
a really, really exciting journey for them, I think.
Go on. Go on, Rosie.
Yes! Come on, Rosie!
Whoo!
- Yes! - Yeah, Rosie!
That's the way to end a half.
We didn't know that there was a women's team in Wrexham
until we took stewardship of the club
and recognized that there was a program that was in place.
And they, just like the men,
need to win the league to get promoted up
and out and into the professional ranks.
The club is a group of different teams,
from the powerchair team
to a seven-a-side team,
you know, to the youth teams and the girls teams.
So the women's team is as much a part of the club.
We play on a nice, lovely pitch.
I say lovely.
I use that term quite loosely.
On certain days, it's not the nicest place--
Place to be.
Yeah, we try not to--we do--
I was gonna say we don't complain.
We do complain.
Um, we all do it because we love football,
and because we love the club that is Wrexham.
And I think you can see that when you come to games.
We don't just turn up for a laugh.
We turn up and we take it quite seriously,
because we know the importance of wearing that badge.
Oh!
Wow.
Was that Lili?
- Lili, yeah. - Whoo!
And with that dominant 5-2 win,
the Wrexham women sit first in the league,
neck and neck with
the only other undefeated
team, Connah's Quay Nomads,
who aim to spoil Wrexham's
chances at promotion.
This way?
Ladies!
That was absolutely amazing.
Wow. Wow.
That was my first game, and I've seen you guys win
as many times as I've seen the men win.
We definitely need to work on
drainage on that pitch.
And maybe new washing machines, because I don't know
how you're gonna-- how we're gonna--look at that!
That's amazing. Well, congratulations.
Thank you for having me.
And, um, Ryan and I have been talking quite a bit about
how we want to prioritize this program.
And for so many reasons in the past, it hasn't been.
You're all very important to us,
and we want to continue to support you.
And if you keep winning, it makes it a lot easier.
So thank you.
More goals next time.
Next time.
I came here for a hat trick, and I don't know--
It was great.
It was fantastic. Thank you.
Last year, both the men's and women's teams
very narrowly missed out on promotion.
This year, things are looking a little brighter.
Right now, our women's team is an amateur side.
None of the players get paid.
If the women win
the Adran North League,
they will then go into
a playoff against the winner
of the Adran South League,
and the winner of that will be
promoted to the Adran Premier.
If that's the case,
then we have grand plans
that involve going to a semi-professional status,
which means paying the players.
I'm just giving you a hard time.
Congratulations.
Yeah. Thank you. - It was great.
I don't necessarily even just think
it's an ethical responsibility to do something like that.
I think that there is a massive business to be created there.
Wow, this is cra--
I can't believe you played in this.
Yeah. There's so much to do there.
Which is great, you know. It's daunting, too, for us.
It's like, for us to cultivate and grow
that business as well is gonna be
a real privilege and fun, but, you know,
we've got a long road ahead.
For us as players, all we can do is
put out really good performances on the pitch
and just keep winning.
Prove you're worth watching, you're worth following.
You know, prove to us your--your worth,
because that's how we get more attention.
That's how, you know, we bring more success
not just to the women's game, but to football
as a whole for Wrexham,
and I think that's all we need to focus on.
I'm 17,
and I'm in school 9:00 till 3:30 most days.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm at work.
So I work 5:00 till 11:00.
So yeah.
No time for anything else, really.
Rob's cleaned up from the other tea.
Thank you. You can follow--
It's actually vile, innit?
I'm a kitchen porter.
Probably one of the hardest
and most humbling jobs you'll ever do.
The six hours goes quite fast when you're bent over a sink.
This is hot off the kettle.
How the fuck am I gonna get that off?
We do ask a lot of these players,
considering they are amateur players.
They're not professional.
They're not on contracts in any way, shape, or form.
So we play football on top of a working day.
Chilling.
Are you coming on Sunday, or what?
No, I'm not. - Why?
I'm busy. - You're busy?
All right. Fucking hell.
And it is tough trying to balance everything out,
but end of the day, it's what's got to be done.
Everyone else has got to do it,
so I'll do it as well, do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Stop looking at me.
Does it feel like it's like a dream?
You know, first you're, like, playing your dream career
in front of loads of people,
and then next day, you're cleaning pots.
I know. It's mad, innit?
And do you enjoy it?
- What, working or playing? - Playing.
Oh, I love it.
It's--I live and breathe for it.
I, like--yeah, I love every second of it.
But--you know?
I'm just telling her that when she's famous,
she needs to come in.
When I'm famous.
We'll see. Yeah.
Do you reckon? Yeah.
I think you're a good footballer.
Do you reckon?
I've read about you.
Started playing football at around six years old.
Obviously there weren't many girls teams around
at that time, so my dad threw me in with--
with the under-six lads team,
which was a bit daunting at the time.
My dad always used to tell me, "Get involved, get involved."
And eventually I did.
I was probably the best player on the team at the time.
About age 13, I got scouted to play for Everton.
Spent a couple of seasons there,
um, which I absolutely loved.
Playing against big opposition like Man City, Chelsea.
I was then drafted in, then, with the Welsh squad.
I played at that level at 15s and 17s,
which was an unreal experience, playing in countries
like Sweden, Portugal.
And then I returned, then, back--
back playing for Wrexham, where I'm at now, and...
I probably would have stayed at Everton a bit longer
if I hadn't lost my dad.
Um, he struggled with mental health
and anxiety, depression.
Um, people knew he was going through it.
I guess we just didn't know
how much it really was affecting him.
We knew it was getting bad, but that was a cycle
we'd dealt with a lot.
My dad took his own life, um, 18th of April, I think, 2021.
Lili's gone through quite a difficult period
in her life at such a young age.
Now, her dad, like--like mine,
is the reason why she comes to watch Wrexham,
why she's the fan that she is.
Yeah, he was a massive fan of the club as well.
Some of--he used to make these stupid videos,
trying to--trying to catch
Rob and Ryan's attention all the time.
Um...
I'm here with, um, my daughter Lili,
uh, who's also played
for Wrexham girls.
Yeah.
Her dad was--was absolutely--
what an incredible man her dad was.
And, you know, we knew her dad really, really well.
He was a massive character, and everyone seems to know him,
and everyone seems to have a story about him,
which--which is very comforting.
I do feel like he's still with us all the time.
He's at my football games, watching.
The flag we designed after--after he passed.
Every time I step on the pitch and every time I step off
is, would I have made my dad proud?
What would my dad think of this?
And what he'd say and what he'd think of my performance, so...
♪ He ordered a medium doner kebab ♪
She is Wrexham, just like I feel that I am.
And, you know, for her to pull on a Wrexham kit every week
means the-- means the world to her.
You know, if she's here
and she helps us gain promotion,
it would be pretty special for her, I would say.
And, you know, probably more so than if it was
any other club that she might have been playing for.
Almost since he's gone, I've fell in love
with the club even more.
I honestly don't know where I'd be
if I didn't have that support
and the people around the club
who are there for me all the time.
I took his love-- love on for it, really.
Wrexham!
Knackered now.
You know, football has, strangely,
always been seen as a boys' sport,
um, even though the women's game was--
was much, much, much bigger than the men's game.
So I think it's important to have some context
around women's football.
Because, you know, we've seen it of late.
There's been this huge increase in interest.
England won the Euros.
You know, the women's game in the U.S. is really big.
But for a long time, women's football
has been in the wilderness.
Right back at its very origins in the 1880s,
there were big teams that drew massive crowds across the UK
and even internationally.
Women's football got a real shot in the arm
during the First World War.
With all of the men away fighting in the trenches
on the western front, women's football was really
kind of the only game in town.
And even when the men returned home,
the women's game still remained enormously popular.
On December 26, 1920, 53,000 people turned out
to watch a women's game.
That is a crowd we can only dream of at Wrexham
these days, um, and speaks
to the enormous popularity of it.
In fact, it was so popular that it was deemed
to be a threat to the men's game,
and the FA took the step in the following year, 1921,
to ban all women from playing football,
saying, "The game of football is unsuitable for females
and ought not to be encouraged."
And they in fact banned women's football
until the 1970s.
So women's football was banned until 1971,
but a female football committee at the FA
was not set up until 1993.
And thank goodness it was, because without that,
you wouldn't be seeing all the many manifold triumphs
of women's football today.
Of course we want to be a part of that,
and it's definitely a long road ahead,
but it's worth it.
Rob and Ryan, of course, they're supporting us.
And Blake, she obviously,
um, sponsors our team as well.
When I first started Betty Buzz,
I set out to create the best-tasting
sparkling drink out there.
It's pretty special that they are
supporting us in that way.
And, you know, that makes us, as a team and as a section,
feel--feel very, very much part of the club.
Gemma is the beating heart of the entire--
the entire club.
I'd say Gemma's heart extends
into the Wrexham AFC men's club too.
She's putting her last drop of blood into this--
this--this team and--
and building it and growing it.
It's gonna be incredible.
I'm really, really excited about it.
I oversee the entire women's
and girls section at the club.
So that's all the way from our little under-eights
all the way up to our senior women's team,
and organizing everything in between, basically.
I'm born and bred Wrexham.
Always had a football by my feet.
Um, I've never really been a girly-girl, if I'm honest.
Um, yeah, I grew up with,
you know, going on the football field
with the kids that lived locally.
There might have been me and one other girl,
and then the rest of them were all boys.
And that's--that-- yeah, that was me.
I loved it.
My husband's Gareth Owen, one of the best midfielders
we've had at the club.
His main sort of time period was the '90s.
I grew up watching him, yeah,
which was quite strange, you know, going back to
when you used to stand at the side of the pitch
and high-fiving players.
Yeah, that was-- he was one of them,
which is a little bit weird, but...
he is now the under-19's manager
with our women's side as well.
I try and learn as much as I can off him,
and--yeah, he's--he's great.
He's--he's playing a big part, at the moment,
in the growth of our women's side as well.
We will not be putting you up front again.
No, Gem, listen! Full-size--oh, my--
Gemma Owen, head of all female...
everything that goes on at Wrexham.
No! Next one.
Come on, Grace. It's got to be you.
I don't think football for women
would be as big as it is in Wrexham if it wasn't for her.
So North Wales can basically thank Gemma Owen for that.
Oh, oh! Oh!
Oh, oh!
I'm trying to give as many girls and women
the opportunity to get involved with what I think is
the best sport in the world.
And being in amongst the club that I have been supporting
for my entire life is--
it's a dream.
It is an absolute dream.
It's Connah's Quay.
They make me nervous. And they're awful.
They're not nice players, either.
We're top of the league now,
and they're only-- they're second,
but with two points below us.
So obviously, if they win,
they're gonna go back
to the top of the league.
Um...
In the changing rooms, like,
I know, like, everyone will be nervous.
And it gets to you.
You can either get-- let the pressure get to you,
or you can perform really well.
We used to have these feelings against Llandudno,
because last season, they were probably our main competitors.
But this season, it's been Connah's Quay.
So it's 90 minutes, isn't it?
And we all--we can be better than them.
We can beat any team if we put our minds to it.
Just have to do the easy ball. Just play football.
Quite a big game for us today.
Top of the table clash.
And we've still got to play them twice in the league.
So, you know, these-- these two games
are gonna be vitally important to us hopefully,
fingers crossed, winning the title.
So I think it'll be a close game.
I don't expect anything other than it being a close game.
Right.
We've said everything that we need to say, okay?
We don't need to sell it to you anymore, okay?
It's a game, okay, that we have to take seriously, okay?
We've got to be aggressive
with and without the ball today, all right?
So let's make sure that we get bodies
in and around the box, okay?
Be patient with each other as well.
Come on, girls. Yeah. Big fucking 90.
Come on. Come on.
Here they come now.
They look ready.
On your toes, girls!
Yeah, just screen in front of your toes.
Yes. Through toes.
You can see that we're both very, very good teams.
And probably deserve to be in the Welsh Prem, to be fair.
Oh, Connah's Quay!
Is wonderful!
Their coaching staff are very barky.
The players are very barky.
And a few tough decisions made against us,
and we have to bark back louder than that.
Rosie. Straight in on it, mate.
Straight in on it.
Come on, Wrexham!
I think that we managed to do that.
Get them! Whoo!
Everyone there put their body on the line.
The tackles were-- tackles were being put in,
passes were being made quickly.
And, you know, when one player was going 10%, we were--
10% less, we were just getting that extra 10%
from somewhere else.
We've got a good--good little team going, I think.
Go on! Yeah!
Listen in.
Today, I couldn't give a shit
how you win a game of football.
It's about fucking digging in and making sure
that we win a game of football.
We fucking enjoy it right now,
and we enjoy it tomorrow in the gym.
Tuesday, Wednesday, our fucking heads turn now.
Sunday, we get it fucking wrapped up.
We win the fucking league
and get everything we fucking deserve.
Yeah, I'm so proud of my team.
Proper happy. Excited, buzzing.
Feeling amazing.
Just, uh, can't contain my excitement, really.

And, you know, putting two, then three,
is--it's just an unbelievable feeling,

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 1864 Suite.
I've got to introduce
our former player guests for tonight.
Making his Football League debut for Wrexham
in September 1997, he also won two Welsh Premier cup medals,
and also played for Wales at full international.
He is a Wrexham lad. Neil Roberts, everybody.
Your time at Wrexham, Neil-- what was the highlight for you?
You know, I'm standing here now,
and I'm still in awe of Mickey, sat at the table there,
'cause he was one of my heroes growing up.
More importantly than anything is having my daughter,
one of my daughters, here tonight, who represents
the women's football team for Wrexham.
And, uh--
I don't remember football ever being something
that wasn't part of my life.
As soon as I could walk, I think I was kicking a ball,
as the cliché goes.
We had Mia when I was-- I was 24.
Came as really no surprise
for her to go down the footballing route.
First time to have a look through it together.
It's basically something my, um, nana put together to--
for me and my brother and sister to have to,
you know, look back on to see your little--
little career.
Um, it captures basically the last few seasons
of your career, really.
Yeah, last couple seasons.
"Local hero Roberts keeps Dragons in hunt."
That season started
on a--on a massive high for me,
'cause I was captain of my hometown club.
Um, there was a--there was a very good squad in place.
And then, unfortunately, it kind of took
a turn for the worse.
So a couple of players moved on to--
to what was better opportunities for them,
and we became a very young squad.
This is the painful bit.
"End of an era."
Yeah. That's me in tears.
See, like, to read that, it just--
no, it's not-- it breaks my heart.
It breaks my heart.
Um...
All right. Talk about this in a second.
Wrexham are out of the Football League.
They've lost by 2 goals to 0 this evening at Edgar Street.
Gary Hooper to the first half.
Theo Robinson, his first goal in six...
It did feel like a nightmare.
And for me personally, it-- it was really tough,
'cause I was captain of the team that--
that got relegated.
So, you know, that was a-- that was a tough pill
to swallow for me, really, and still is to this day.
My personal take on it is that it's, um--
it--it did take a big piece of me.
And I think it caught up with me in--in later life,
and I became a little bit distant
and, you know, maybe--
maybe, to a point, a different person as well.
It's had a massive effect on my--on my life,
especially from a family point of view.
It was hard for us to go out as a family
without being subject to certain things being said.
Because, you know, obviously,
the club does mean that much to people.
And that obviously shouldn't happen.
But you can see why it does happen,
because if they're gonna put fault on someone, the captain,
you know, he's--he's well up there in, you know,
people to--to blame.
Didn't know it was after 87 years.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
You say all the right things to make me feel better.
This season, for me, is-- it's more than football.
It might allow me a new-- a new start, in many ways,
and a new--a new chapter
in my life and my family's life.
You know, that's the one thing that Rob and Ryan have
given everybody in the town, is--is belief.
Is belief and a kind of "dare to dream" sort of thing.
Basically just a summary and a plan
for--for me to finish this
when Wrexham got back in the league.
Touch wood.
Hopefully--hopefully we get to finish it in a few months.
Women's there, men's there.
Let's hope, uh-- let's hope we do it.
Yeah.
But we'll do that together.
Yeah.
All right.
How you doing? You all right?
Good to see you. You all right, mate?
Thank you. - How are we? Okay?
As the Wrexham men continue
to battle for promotion, the women's team
is nearing their finish line with a critical match
this weekend away to Rhyl.
Win this one, and they'll have won the league
and set themselves up for a significant promotion
up the football pyramid.
The women's team are coming off the back
of their big win against Connah's Quay
and they're looking really confident,
as well they should.
If they win this game, they clinch the league.
The fact that we could win the league is massive.
That's what all the girls want.
We want to take this to the next level,
and we want to make the town and the owners proud, really.
So we will do whatever it takes to win that game.
You've got to give Rhyl credit,
because they held Connah's Quay,
they held Llandudno,
and only just lost out 2-1 there.
So they're not gonna roll over.
It's not gonna be easy.
We know that we're going away from home.
And again, like, we've spoke about that target on our back.
You know, they'll want to spoil the party, really.
They're not gonna-- they're not gonna enjoy us,
you know, beating them and celebrating
winning the league at their place.
I'll try not to look as ill as I did last week.
Yeah. Oh.
Yeah.
That was some pressure last week.
The girls did really well, though.
Because they knew what was at stake last week.
Yeah.
And just how resilient they were.
They were brilliant. Mm-hmm.
They were brilliant. Ah.
Got to get the job done first, though.
Go on. Definitely.
Excited for it. Let's do it.
Let's smash it. Let's beat them.
'Cause we can. We have done.
So yeah, we'll do it.
And hopefully the pressure of a cup game
won't get to us, 'cause it's the league.
And obviously, we've, um, won every game
so far in the league.
So hopefully we just continue our, um, winning streak.
We know exactly what we've got to do, okay?
We cannot make sure that we obviously
take this game lightly.
These won't want to see us to come here
and turn them over, simple as that.
Last week was a slog.
This week, let the football do the talking.
Get the ball down. Use the pitch.
How good does that feel, coming in,
when you've got 50-odd people giving you a clap?
Yeah? All right.
That's the ambition, yeah?
That's the drive, okay?
Let's send them home fucking happy,
and let's send them home that we fucking played well today,
and we've done our fucking jobs, okay?
No regrets at the end of this game.
Come on. Let's go.
Come on, then, girls!
Relax, Lil!
Other side, Lili!
Their confidence was warranted.
They came flying out of the traps
and scored three early goals.
Yes!
Follow in!
Whoo!
So I'm delighted to say, look who's next to me here.
- Hello. - Mr. Humphrey Ker is
at the game today.
Fantastic.
What do you think so far?
It's going well. 3-0 up.
We just--just missed a penalty,
but I'm hoping that won't come back
to haunt us in the second half.
But yeah, it's going well.
Obviously, three points here means--
means the title, so... Yeah.
Um, yeah, it's a great day.
Yes, when people talk about the beautiful game,
they often, uh, summon the spirit of 1970s Brazil.
But I think those people maybe haven't seen
2023 Wrexham women.
Rosie Hughes is unbelievable.
Like, I've been lucky enough to see her
a couple of times in action now.
And, you know, she's a Wrexham legend.
Yeah, I'm really chuffed for her.
I'm really chuffed for all the girls,
and it'd be great to have a double celebration
at the end of the season.
Humphrey... Thank you very much.
Cheers, Tommy. Take care.
They're working hard, working as a unit,
and frankly putting Rhyl to the sword.
Go on.
Yes!
Oh. Come on, Rosie.
Go on. Yes!

♪ Super Rosie Hughes ♪
♪ Just don't think you understand ♪
Yes!
So the full-time score is Rhyl 1,
Wrexham 11, which is an unbelievable way
to end the Adran North League.
However, unfortunately, despite having won the title
of the Adran Northern League--
and that's a fantastic achievement in and of itself--
it doesn't yet mean promotion.
There remains the playoff game against the winners
of the Adran South, and that is Briton Ferry.
So we've still got one more game.
Oh, amazing.
I mean, it feels like all the hard work's paid off.
We should have done it last season,
and--and to do it in an 11-1 win today
and get a goal for meself,
it is a dream come true, to be honest.
And to do it for this badge as well is--
yeah, it means everything to me.
You know, playing for this club and doing it for these people
is--is something I've always dreamed of doing,
and the fact that I've done it
is something I'll always be proud of.
We won the league.
However, that didn't guarantee automatic promotion.
But we'd still won our league.
And I thought that that was really important
that we celebrated that,
for the girls to have their celebration.
Because if we didn't go up,
it was still an incredible achievement.
There's a little message for you here,
from one of our chairmen.
Hey there, this is just a quick message
for the Wrexham AFC women.
I, um--boy.
I just want to say congratulations on--on, um--
on one of the most incredible and historic seasons,
uh, so far, um, we've ever had.
Um, you know, by we, I mean this club and you.
Uh, you guys have been putting up
what I guess could only be described
as basketball scores.
It's been incredible.
Um, and I just want to say congratulations,
and thank you, uh,
for putting your heart, soul, and last drop of blood
into every single one of these matches.
Um, each and every one of you are heroes.
And, uh, I'm sending you tons of love from--from New York.
Love you, Ryan. There we go.
