This group was promoted to Section 1 after absolutely dominating grading — a huge achievement in itself. However, the step up proved to be a very tough one, with the team consistently facing strong, well-drilled opposition each week.

Under Coach Sarah’s guidance, the focus never shifted away from development, resilience, and learning through every contest. Even when the scoreboard didn’t reflect the effort, the players continued to show up, compete, and grow together as a team. 🖤💛

While finishing at the bottom of the ladder was not the outcome anyone hoped for, it does not tell the full story of this season. The growth, persistence, and determination shown each week highlight just how much this team has developed since round one. As the season progressed, one of the most encouraging signs was the way the team began to close the gap in matches. There is value in a season like this — one that tests mindset, builds toughness, and teaches what it takes to compete at a higher level. These lessons will be incredibly important for the seasons ahead.

To our CPNC 9 players — your effort, commitment, and willingness to keep learning through a difficult year has been outstanding. You should be proud of how you continued to represent each other and our club each week. 👏🏐

A big thank you to Coach Sarah, our families, and supporters for standing by this group through a demanding season. Your encouragement and positivity never wavered and meant so much. 💛

Now it’s time to rest, reset, and take confidence from the progress made — because every hard season builds stronger players and stronger teams. Bring on Spring!!!

Please join us in celebrating a great season for CPNC 9 👏👏👏
