The Northern NSW Football under-14 girls team produced a strong performance to win the SingaCup in Singapore on Saturday.
After sustaining their only loss of the international youth tournament to Makati FC (Philippines) during the group stage, the NNSW side turned the tables on their opponents with a 1-0 victory in the Cup decider.
NNSW under-14 girls coach Alex Nolan described it as a courageous win.
"Finals football is all about determination and bravery, and after losing 2-1 to Makati FC the day before, the team were pumped to be versing them again in the final," Nolan said.
"The girls adapted to the oppositions' playing style and dominated from start to finish."
NNSW players Ceanna Frost (Maitland FC) and Alexis Collins (Newcastle Jets) respectively earned the Golden Boot and MVP accolades for their age group.
