Funny moments
There were 3 players stood together and one of them headed the ball, but then no one knew where it went until PLONK, the ball dropped onto the back of one of their heads.

Hi fans! Thank you for coming back to hear all about the next match I've been to. It was 23rd March 2025. Me, Mum and two special guests (Grandma and my cousin Ami) went to the Wham Stadium to watch Accrington Stanley Women FC vs Penrith AFC Ladies.

The atmosphere was different from what I'm used to – normally I watch Liverpool Women, where the crowds are much bigger. But there was something really special about this game! The fans were so passionate, shouting encouragement and advice to the players, and cheering every good move. At first it felt unusual, but I quickly got into it – and what an honour to be sitting right alongside the players' friends and family

As we sat down EVERYONE started cheering. Accrington Stanley had already scored their first goal! I cheered so loudly with everyone else. Then eight mins later they scored another. That wasn't the last either, they went onto to score another three goals! 5-0! Can you believe it? It was SO exciting! They nearly had sixth too but it was disallowed... disappointing!

It's only my second time going to watch Accrington Stanley and I've already got a favourite, drum roll please... Number 4, Jazmin Attwood. She's really good, she's a defender and the captain AND she scored the second goal!


Next stop: Liverpool Women vs. Aston Villa this weekend! Stay tuned—my next match report will be here before you know it!
