She Can Play Panthers Clinch Promotion in Debut Season
In a remarkable debut campaign, SHE CAN PLAY Panthers have secured promotion from the Essex Women's Football League Premier Division to the Eastern Regional Women's Football League (Tier 6) for the 2025/26 season. The newly formed side finished 2nd in the league.
SHE CAN PLAY Panthers have exceeded all expectations in their first season. Highlights included an eight-game winning streak and impressive cup performances, with goal scorers like Evie Clarke (15 goals), Evie Walters (12), and Georgia Maxwell-Jones (9) leading the scoring charts.
The team’s success reflects the strength of the wider SHE CAN PLAY programme, established in 2016 to develop female footballers across Essex and Hertfordshire. The Panthers are the first senior team launched by the organisation, which is committed to creating a clear pathway from grassroots to elite level—run entirely by UEFA-qualified female coaches.
