"The league is small, but strong" said Jeremy Dee. "All competitions went very smoothly this season, and we will be asking clubs with U16 girls teams to look at entering the Senior League in 2010. The committee set up a very enjoyable evening catering for all clubs and it was a great opportunity for players and officials to mix. The league will continue to expand taking in new players and lots of functions and matches that will make women’s soccer even more enjoyable for all our Mayo fans!"
