Manager Gary Smith drew on all his experience to send out a well organised and disciplined team that produced outstanding performances throughout the AWFL 60s Cup Tournament , going unbeaten across five matches to lift the trophy and be crowned 2026 champions
The day began with a strong 3-1 victory over the Andalucía Ladies Team. Goals came from Marc, Alfredo, and Captain Fitzy, giving the team the perfect start to the competition.

The third game saw another impressive result as we defeated Nerja 3-2 in a closely contested encounter.
The fourth match against Calahonda proved to be the toughest test of the day. We fell 2-0 behind early on before pulling a goal back to trail 2-1 at half-time. The second half continued to be a battle, with Calahonda extending their lead before we fought back once again. Two goals from Marc and one from JC completed a remarkable comeback, with Marc scoring a superb equaliser with the final kick of the game to secure a crucial 3-3 draw.
That result set up a decisive final match against the hosts, Competa Boca Seniors. Having won all four of their previous matches, Boca Seniors only needed a draw to claim the trophy, while PCTS required victory.
