Queensgate FC to this level and look forward to delivering and achieving the

surrounding community.
Club Secretary Mandy Anderson said 'I am very proud to receive the County
Administration Award for 2008 and would like to thank the committee, coaches,
players and parents of Queensgate FC for their continued support and enthusiasm
and also the Cheshire County FA for their recognition in what is very much a

clubs continued commitment to developing football, raising standards in
coaching, administration, player development and safeguarding children, and the

Standard County Administration award 2008 for her continued commitment to
developing the club in her role as Club Secretary.
