Here's a look at the teams that will be competing and the incredible journey that brought them to this moment.

U7 & U11 Finals - September 15

U7 - Bay City Cubs vs Hearts Lionhearts (09:00)

U11- Callies Saltires vs Hearts Barbs (11:00)

September 15, will be another thrilling day for Hearts FC as both our U7 and U11 teams take the field for their finals.

U7 Lionhearts have been a consistent force since 2023, and their hard work is finally paying off as they make it to the final. This is the only team and age group in our club coached and headed up by a lady, the fantastic Lise Rushton and Christine Joubert. Lise’s dedication and passion for the game has been instrumental in shaping these young talents. The Lionhearts' consistency and resilience has been remarkable, and now they are ready to reap the rewards of their efforts.

Among the standout players are Solly and Joshua, both of whom have been crucial to the team’s success. Their skills, determination, and team spirit have helped carry the Lionhearts to this final stage, and we are incredibly proud of them. Can’t forget to mention, the U7 Bravehearts, also coached by Lise & Tine, have shown great promise and have been a testament to her coaching prowess.

U11 Barbs have also had a season to remember, with their journey to the final being nothing short of magical. Head Coach Luvuyo, along with Aphiwe in his dedicated coaching team, has gone above and beyond to ensure the Barbs are in top form. Luvuyo and Aphiwe have sacrificed countless hours, even hosting extra sessions to ensure the team is fully prepared. The results speak for themselves, with fantastic performances and numerous clean sheets along the way. The attention to detail in this team is what catches the eye. We have seen training sessions where all that’s being done is shooting for a good 1h30, which is practically the whole session, but there is a method to the madness. The goals this team scores is what many dream about, and this is evident in how these young players celebrate their achievements.

As we head into these finals, Hearts FC is immensely proud of all our players, coaches, and supporters. These finals are a testament to the hard work, dedication, and love for the game that everyone involved in the club has shown. We wish all our teams the very best of luck in their finals. Bring home the trophies, Hearts FC!

Come On You Hearts!
