B-junioreita seurassa on pelannut kuluneella kaudella kolme joukkuetta; Kakkosessa, Kolmosessa sekä Nelosessa. Kakkosessa pelannut B1 varmisti sarjanousun Ykköseen jo ennen kauden viimeistä peliä. Päävalmentaja Gonçalo Pinto on erittäin tyytyväinen joukkueen kehitykseen kauden aikana.
” IF Gnistan B-Juniors have achieved a resounding victory in the Kakkonen League, earning promotion to the esteemed Ykkönen League.
Throughout the season, we have faced formidable opponents, enduring challenges and setbacks along the way. However, through sheer determination, resilience, and an unwavering belief in our abilities, we have emerged victorious. This marks a significant milestone in our club’s history, thanks to the relentless efforts of our players and coaching staff. Special thanks to our coaching staff, especially Harri Haapanen, and everyone else involved – Jari Laitinen, Harri Rautavirta and last but not least our Team Managers Kirsi Ylänne and Toni Ranta.
This remarkable achievement provides us with an opportunity to compete at a higher level and challenge ourselves against some of the finest teams in the country. As we look forward to the challenges that lie ahead in the Ykkönen League, we are fully aware that the road to success will demand even greater commitment, effort, and perseverance. We will continue to build upon the foundations that have brought us here and approaching this new chapter with confidence and a strong belief in our abilities.
Our club is filled with pride and anticipation as we embark on this journey, grateful to everyone who contributed to this incredible accomplishment.”
Valmennuspäällikkö Chris Blake yhtyy Gonçalon sanoihin ja lisää ”This promotion is a by-product of focus, collaboration and a commitment to the IF Gnistan process. I want to congratulate all the players, coaches and team leaders involved.
The progress that has been made by the players over the last two years has been really pleasing to watch. Their willingness to push themselves and each other out of their comfort zones has been a foundation for the success so far.
The hard work doesn’t stop now and a great challenge awaits! The development continues!”
Onnittelut koko joukkueelle sekä taustoille ja tsemppiä Ykköseen!
