New City College Tottenham Hotspur Academy female football team has done it again! For the second year in a row, they have won the regional tournament and will proudly represent NCC at the AoC Sport National Championships finals 2025, taking place in April at the University of Nottingham.

This is a fantastic achievement for Coach Lyon Theoharous and the entire squad, who have worked hard to maintain their success.

The WSL is the highest tier of women’s football in England. It is run by the FA and sponsored by Barclays.

Molly’s achievement is outstanding, considering she is just one of 23 players from across the country to be chosen for the national All-Stars squad for 2024-25.

She follows in the footsteps of another Epping Forest campus student, Grace Craven, who was selected to play in the England Colleges FA national team while she was an NCC student. Grace completed her Level 3 Sport course in June last year, achieving fantastic grades of Distinction* Distinction* Distinction.
