@AltMelville What an OUTSTANDING goal it was too!

[Melville Alternative @AltMelville]

HAPPINESS IS: Scoring the 86th minute winner in northern league women's football at home to Franklin to keep your team 8 points clear at the top. Melville team mates help Freya Douglas celebrate.

After a few head knocks in 2024, I decided to take 2025 off to prioritise my well being and future. Hoping to be back on the field in 2026. Until then, here are my 2024 highlights with @MelvilleUnited in the @nzleagues

Our dates were dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, BATMAN

@EatSleepFutBall @MTGOAL_NZ We should really institute a Unicorn of the Week award (starting with Max).
