Rugby Borough Women FC U21s players and young fans recognised at FA Women's National League Awards
3rd June 2026
Two Rugby Borough Women FC U21s players have been recognised at the FA Women’s National League Awards, with Tate Bullen taking the Golden Boot and Eva Buckley named Player of the Season in the FA Women’s National Reserve League.
The awards reflect a strong season for the club’s reserve setup, which has continued to develop players within the wider female pathway connecting grassroots football to Tier 3.
Female Pathway Director Sian Osmond said: “It’s brilliant to see Tate and Eva recognised at this level. These awards are a reflection of the quality of football being played across our pathway and the potential that exists within this group of players. We’re proud of both of them.”
The evening also brought recognition for four young players from the Women & Girls section, who were collectively awarded Fan of the Year for their unfaltering support of the first team. To be nominated, let alone win, is a huge honour, and a lovely reminder of the community that runs through every level of this club.
Congratulations to Tate, Eva, and our four brilliant fans on their well-deserved recognition.
