Torquay's women win promotion

Congratulations to our friends Torquay United Women, who have won the South West Regional Women's League Premier Division title and with it promotion to the FA National League.

United, playing with the Weltch Media logo on their shorts, secured the championship with a rare 0-0 draw away to Sherborne Town at Ilminster this afternoon (Sunday 10 May).

Only one team is promoted, and although Torquay had all but secured the title last week, today's point made sure. You can read a report on the Torquay United website here.

They now move back up to the FA National League South West, the fourth tier of the women's game in England.

As well as being this season's shorts sponsor, we have been long-time sponsors of Danni Wyatt since the 2017/18 season.

She has missed this season through injury, but is now on the road to recovery after surgery.

The women's success came 24 hours after bitter disappointment for the men's team, who missed out on promotion from National League South (the sixth level of the men's structure) after an extra-time winner by Hornchurch in the play-off final yesterday.

Weltch Media's Andy Weltch said: "I'm so proud of what the women have achieved this season, under Ryan Perks's leadership. It's an honour for Weltch Media to be associated with this phenomenal team. "Here's looking forward to more success at the higher level next season!"

Weltch Media has extensive experience across the sports industry, having worked with national governing bodies in cricket, tennis, swimming, and canoeing; golf organisations ranging from local clubs to professional tours and the Ryder Cup; and motorsport drivers, teams and promoters.

In December we announced a new partnership with Pro Shaw's Coaching and you can see us on the new coaching jackets. We recently shared the news that we're teaming up with Mendips Raceway and Rebels Racing to present one of the year's major championships.
