Huge Congratulations to Jacqui Wheatley!

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO JACQUI WHEATLEY! 

What an incredible achievement and a moment of real pride for Guernsey! Jacqui has done us all proud, representing England at the Walking Football European Championships in Spain and helping her team secure the European Championship title.

After scoring twice in the 8–0 semi-final victory over Holland, Jacqui went on to score the all-important winning goal in the final against Spain, securing a fantastic 1–0 victory and another major international honour for England. What a moment to be part of!

It's particularly special to see Jacqui flying the Guernsey flag on the international stage and showing just what talent, determination and passion we have here on our island.

We know this has been an incredibly difficult year for Jacqui following the sad loss of Paul, her husband, who was himself a true stalwart and passionate supporter of the sport. We hope this achievement brings her, and everyone who knew him, an enormous sense of pride. Were sure he would have been immensely proud watching Jacqui achieve something so special.

Jacqui, you've been absolutely brilliant. Congratulations on becoming a European Champion. You've done England, Guernsey and everyone involved in walking football incredibly proud. ❤️🤍💚

One island. One incredible achievement. Well done, Jacqui!
