PICTURES: Ross County girls win end-of-season awards after impressive 2023 campaigns
Ross County’s girls set-up honoured their star performers across 2023 at their annual awards ceremony in Invergordon last weekend.
It was a phenomenal season for the club's older age groups, with the under-16s squad going through their entire North of Scotland League campaign undefeated on the way to winning their league title.
There was also cup action to focus on in the form of the Inchyra Cup, where the Staggies won the tournament without conceding.
The under-14s matched the older group in their own league, lifting the Highland League crown unbeaten.
Younger age groups did not have such formal competitions to play in, but still did well across friendly league fixtures and festivals.
Head coach Iain MacIver said: "This has been another great year that has seen the club continue to grow with over 140 girls registered with the club and training regularly exceeding 100 girls a night.
"We have big plans again for next year. We will run our first under-18 squad which will mean that we now have a full youth pathway covering every possible age group.
"We will also launch our first senior side which will complete the pathway from infant to adult. We will enter the Highlands and Islands League in February, and come the summer we will have a senior team enter the national pyramid leagues – hopefully we will see a Ross County team in the Scottish Women's Premier League in the near future.
"We would also like to thank Invergordon Social Club for hosting our awards, which was attended by over 200 people, and also our sponsors for the night Scottsburn Kennels and Cattery, G&M Motors, Kevin Marshall Flooring and Mairi Urquhart & Son."
