The team had sold 3,000 tickets in advance, and many more Wolves fans were at the Perelli on the day. Manager Dan McNamara told the BBC it was an "incredible moment" and that he was overwhelmed to be able to share it "with such an incredible group".

Dan McNamara said it was an emotional moment to bring professional women's football to Wolverhampton [BBC] "It's unbelievable to bring professional [women's] football to Wolverhampton for the first time in its history," he said. "I'm so proud of everyone who's played a part in the journey. "All week, all season I've said we'd win the play-off...

there was nobody who would beat us today. " Wolves rode their luck and McNamara admitted they were the poorer side for much of the match and relied on player-of-the-match Brooks to keep them in it. "Brooksy has probably had a quiet season compared to what she had last year in WSL2, but I thought she was magnificent today," he said.
