McKenna: Brilliant Way For Town Women to End Their Season
Monday, 27th Apr 2026 12:14

Kieran McKenna hopes his team can emulate the women’s side by ending their season in a brilliant manner.

David Wright, who was given the job of manager of the women’s side on a permanent basis on Friday having been in the role since January on an interim basis, saw his team to a superb 3-0 victory away against then-leaders Birmingham City yesterday, to secure their place in WSL2 for a second season.

“It was great for David and for his staff and for the women’s team,” McKenna said. “They’ve had a really good run in the second half of the year and it’s a brilliant way to end the season.

“Joe [Sheehan, former manager] did amazing work with the team over the last few years and David’s come in the second half of the season and helped give it another push, and they’ve recruited well as well, which has helped.

“It’s really good that they’ve established their place now and can start planning and looking forward to next year.

“If we can go and have a good last week like they have, then we’ll be really happy.”

Huge achievement by the ladies and another reflection of the great work going on at our club! Some more of the same and we could have two established premier league teams before long!

Also....

"A much better place" ^^^ is automatic promotion not good enough for you ??? Honestly the negativity on here and other platforms is totally embarrassing at times. There are literally millions of fans that would kill to be in our position. People need to lighten up and enjoy what could be another incredible week in our history. COYB

jas0999 added 13:27 - Apr 27 Congratulations to David and his team. To think we looked nailed on for relegation and are now winning 3-0 to top teams like a Birmingham. Excellent.

Eeyore added 13:50 - Apr 27 Watched it on Youtube. Great performance. Looked like a different team to the one that played at PR the other week. After 3-0 in 15 mins, never looked in any trouble. The defence and the organisation was first rate. Top 5 next season?

blues1 added 16:03 - Apr 27 Terry butchers twin. If we could score a couple of goals? We're the 2nd highest scorers in the league. Have to wonder about some of our fans.

armchaircritic59 added 19:09 - Apr 27 It's been a phoenix like rise from the ashes. Groundwork laid by JS without whom non of this would have happened, and brilliantly built on by DW. Oh, did I see an interesting little " aside " thrown in there by KM? " and they've recruited well as well, which has helped " . One things for sure, that is undisputable.
