For a while now, we’ve been building. Training, playing friendlies, getting to know each other, growing as a team. There’s been progress every week — little wins, big learning curves, and a lot of good football. But now it’s time for something different.
This weekend, our women’s team plays its first-ever competitive match.
Not a friendly. Not just for fitness. This one matters. Points on the line. League table. Real stakes.
It’s a huge moment — not just for the players involved, but for the club as a whole. That journey starts properly this weekend.

It’s not just about the 90 minutes on the pitch. This is about showing what’s possible when you invest in people, back your players, and commit to doing things properly.
It’s about the lads in the youth teams — and they’re in action too this weekend as both of our u15 teams get their season started.

From the youngest age groups right up, there are players wearing our badge, learning the game, growing in confidence, and setting their sights on the senior squads. And now, for the first time, there’s a clear path to aim for.
That matters.
There’s something special happening here. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But it’s built on effort, belief, and proper footballing values. And it deserves support.
So whether you’re heading down to the game, following along online, or just part of the growing community backing this team — this is a weekend to get behind.
