SHANNON Top Goal Scorer
Meanwhile, Hills United women have to watch the grand final of the FNSW Football One competition from the sidelines, unlike last year when they finished gallant runners-up.
After dominating for a large part of the 2024 season, the Hills United women fell agonisingly short of the finals this time. They finished on 53 points in the 14-club league, two points behind fourth-placed St George FC.
The Hills women are certainly one of the top teams in the competition and with a rich array of talent and experience in their ranks, should bounce back next season. They had 16 wins, five draws and five losses, and completed their season with a 4-0 drubbing of South Coast Flame on Saturday, August 24.
Sharpshooter Kylie Shannon was the top scorer for the Hills this season with 24 goals, finishing third on the honour list behind the phenomenal Aya Seino of Bankstown City (43) and Mt Druitt Town Rangers star Leena Khamis (28). Shannon’s talented team-mate Isabella Sciberras maintained her form with 17 goals, with the duo proving a handful to many of their rivals during the season.
In this weekend’s grand final, defending champions St George take on Mt Druitt Rangers.
