Week 17 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Lucy Doyle

The VAFA congratulates Lucy Doyle from MCC FC, who has been nominated as the Week 17 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star. Lucy has pieced together an impressive body of work in her first season of senior football. Her strong form in the run home has seen her earn a spot in the best as a key component of the MCC Women’s side in the final four rounds.

What the club said:

Lucy joined our club this season, and we are incredibly lucky to have her. From day one, she brought her smile and positive energy, instantly uplifting the club. Her youthful exuberance and love for the game are infectious within the playing group. Lucy has been involved in football from a young age and is a shining example of the growth in women’s football. She was the first girl to win Auskicker of the Year at her junior club and also played in the inaugural junior girls’ team there.

I’ve been so impressed with how quickly Lucy has adapted to senior women’s football. She kicked three goals in a win on her debut and hasn’t looked back since. Lucy has developed excellent skills, progressing from Auskick to senior football. 

She has become a talented and hardworking footballer. Her composure, creativity, and toughness make her a damaging and consistent midfielder in our side. I can’t wait to watch Lucy’s development over the coming years. I hope she gains a lot of belief from this well-deserved recognition.
