                              Message from the League.
       After a very disrupted couple of seasons it is a pleasure to once again be able to welcome
       everyone to the Gordon Perrett Memorial Cup Final which we are pleased to be holding at
       The Corinium Stadium in Cirencester this year.
       I send a special welcome to Helen and Mike Millard from Gordon’s family who join us once
       again for the final, Alexis Lunn-Gadd who many of you will know through her role as the GFA
       Women’s and Girls officer before moving on to a new role at the FA, and Lucy Wellings the
       FA Senior Women’s Football Clubs Manager.

       Today’s final sees two teams who have each had a successful season, both finishing second
       in their respective divisions. It is fabulous to see both teams in today’s final. Dursley Town
       Ladies have been a solid part of the League for the last 20 years and it is great to see the
       team thriving. Whilst being a relatively new member club in comparison Longwell Green
       Ladies have established themselves as a strong part of the League.
       With the delayed Women’s Euros competition being just around the corner and with it being
       held in our own country the women’s game is going from strength to strength. We continue
       to attract more media coverage than ever before and whilst I don’t anticipate there being
       the 91,648 crowd which Barcelona Women recently attracted it is great to see you all here
       today. As someone who has played in a cup final I know what it means to the players to have
       your support on the day.
       I believe the League is a credit to everyone behind the scenes that plays a part in grassroots
       football,  whether  you  be  a  player,  manager,  coach  or  secretary,  alongside  the  GCWFL
       committee members without whom the running of the league would not be possible. My
       thanks go to each and every one of you.
       We  would  like  to  wish  both  teams  good  luck  in  today’s  final  and  I  wish  everybody  an
       enjoyable afternoon with an exciting game of football. Thank you all for your support.

       Yours in sport
