Under 12 YPL Girls fight back to lift Youth Girls Premier Cup

Adelaide University 2-2 Adelaide City (Adelaide City won 4-3 on penalties)

The Under 12 YPL Girls showed tremendous resilience to be crowned champions after an unforgettable comeback.

After falling behind 2-0 inside the opening 24 minutes, City refused to give in. Maria Kowalczyk sparked the comeback with goals in the 39th and 51st minutes to level the scores and force a penalty shootout.

The girls then kept their composure from the spot, prevailing 4-3 on penalties to complete a remarkable fightback and lift the Youth Girls Premier Cup.

Days like this don't happen by chance. They are built on countless hours of training, commitment and support from players, coaches, volunteers and families across the club.

To have four teams crowned Carl's Jr. Cup champions on the same day is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of the strength of Adelaide City's junior development program.

Congratulations to our Under 14 YSL Black, Under 13 YSL White, Under 12 YPL and Under 12 YPL Girls teams on an unforgettable achievement and for adding another proud chapter to Adelaide City's 80-year history.
