Our vice captain, team mate and good friend, Vanisha Patel had devastating news last Thursday. Trailing by just 1 goal with 10 minutes left to go, vanisha lunged for the ball, clashing with a player from the opposition in a tackle that made all of our hearts drop.

Sometimes, these things just look a lot worse than they actually are, but after an MRI scan, we found out the worst news possible that V had completely ruptured her ACL. This news left our whole team speechless and gutted to be without such an influential and courageous player for the rest of the season.

Vanisha or 'V' is the heart of our team, she is a leader and someone that we all look up to. You can always find her in the middle of the changing rooms after a last minute win, playing 'all we do is win' but then she's also the one who's there for the whole team when we are struggling.

Vanisha needs an ACL reconstruction operation to get her back where she belongs and doing what she loves. We are all behind her recovery 100 percent and ask for your help. Please donate anything that you can to, 'Get V a new Knee'. We appreciate any size of donation.
