Livingston Women’s FC launched The formation of Livingston Women’s FC for season 2020 has been formed in partnership with Blackburn United, and continues the excellent relationship that the clubs currently has at Senior Men’s level, and we hope this will filter down and strengthen the local communities.

This partnership can only help the girls’ game at a time when there is significant changes within the women’s structure.

Aligning Blackburn with Livingston only strengthens the brands and allows the girls’ youth players with a clear path/vision to develop, eventually playing under the biggest senior club name within West Lothian.

Livingston Women will head up the pathway at Blackburn, with all the youth teams and Development Ladies remaining under the Blackburn badge, playing their games out of New Murrayfield Park, with Livingston Women wearing the Livingston kit and playing and training at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

The women’s team will continue to be Managed by Paul Jaconelli, with Paul being supported

by Stevie Dickov (coach) & Nigel Thorpe (Secretary), there will be further additions added before the season resumes in February 2020.

The players, coaches & clubs are excited by this new venture and we are sure the existing partnership will grow not only in the girls game but also within the boys game.

Nigel Thorpe (Girls & Ladies Secretary Blackburn United) told the Livingston FC website: “At these times of change within the women’s game we need to be proactive and not reactive, having this partnership with Livingston FC keeps us on the front foot and will provide the girls in the fantastic youth section at Blackburn United with a goal and a clear direction as they continue to develop, as without them there would be no Livingston WFC. “I would like to thank my fellow committee members at Blackburn United for their understanding of the requirement of this partnership.”

Robert Wilson, Chairman of Livingston FC said: “Let me begin with saying how excited everyone at Livingston FC are to be able to field a women’s football team in the SWF for the forthcoming season, February 2020.

“We were the only top flight team that never had a women’s football team and I think we had to do our very best to make that happen, I’m proud that during my tenure we have a women’s team wearing the Livingston badge and the first team kit.

“Hopefully there will be a host of cross synergies that will allow the Livingston women’s team to grow and Livingston FC gain further exposure in the communities in and around West Lothian.

“I’m sure I speak for all when I say I am really excited about this progressive decision taken by the board at Livingston FC which will hopefully guarantee Livingston FC having a women’s team for the future generations of fans.”

Affiliation for season 2020 has been accepted by the SWF and the women will continue to participate within the performance arm of the game, within the Championship (last season it was the SWFL1 South).

The Barclays FA WSL will sit on top of the tree at Christmas after winning 3-1 away to on Sunday.

On a day when the weather wiped out two of the scheduled six fixtures, the Gunners made a determined start and were rewarded in the fourteenth minute, when Vivianne Miedema headed them in front from a Kim Little cross.

Arsenal continued to dominate but found Everton goalkeeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela in fine form and they were dealt a blow just before half time when Beth Mead was stretchered off following a challenge on her. After the break, the Gunners strengthened their grip on the game when Little was fouled in the area and picked herself up to score, and two minutes later Miedema completed a phenomenal year for herself with yet another goal, this time from close range after being set up by Leonie Maier. Everton did grab a late consolation through leading scorer Chloe Kelly but it was a ninth win in ten matches for the reigning Champions and a three point lead going into the break.

Arsenal’s challenge was further boosted by the news that had been held to a 1-1 draw by improving . On a heavy pitch at Prenton Park, Niamh Charles kept up her good run of form by giving Liverpool the lead, forcing home the rebound from a Kirsty Linnett free kick. Chelsea hit back strongly and a couple of minutes after seeing an effort cleared off the line by Sophie Bradley-Auckland, Beth England equalised against the team she spent a season on loan with, powering in a header from a Guro Reiten cross. Sophie Ingle hit the post early in the second half for Chelsea as they were frustrated in their hopes to pick up all three points, but at the same time it was a fine result for Liverpool and the point was enough to take them off the bottom of the table. move back above Chelsea into second place after running out 5-0 winners . City got off to the best possible start when Steph Houghton crashed a over shot home from an indirect free kick in the penalty area after just two minutes and Ellen White made it two ten minutes later, before Lauren Hemp further increased their lead ahead of half time. Brighton rallied after the break and had a goal disallowed on the hour but two well taken goals in the late stages of the game from Georgia Stanway and Pauline Bremer rounded off a good response from Nick Cushing’s side to defeat seven days earlier.

Everton 1 (Kelly 79) staged a late rally to Arsenal 3 (Miedema 14,57, Little pen 55) beat 3-1 and move back above their opponents and into the top half. After a goalless Liverpool 1 (Charles 5) first half, Spurs went in front eight minutes after the Chelsea 1 (England 15) restart through a superb strike from Siri Worm. The game was turned on its head in the final twelve Manchester City 5 (Houghton 2, White 13, Hemp 37, minutes though, Jo Potter levelling the scores from Stanway 78, Bremer 86) close range and Remi Allen then put the Royals ahead Brighton & Hove Albion 0 for the first time. Spurs threw players forward to try and salvage a point but, deep into injury time, a Reading FC Women 3 (Potter 78, Allen 88, Reading counter attack saw Amalie Eikeland break Eikeland 90) Tottenham Hotspur 1 (Worm 53) away and seal the points with the third goal.

FA Women’s Championship The weather greatly affected the FA Women’s Championship on Sunday with two of the scheduled five fixtures having to be postponed. However the three matches that were played produced good results for the top three at the start of play, increasing the gap between themselves and the teams below them.

Two of the four breakaway teams met each other at Boldmere St Michaels and it was . They who emerged with a 3-1 victory over rivals leaders needed to come from behind though, as the Lionesses got off to a great start when they took a sixth minute lead through a super solo goal from Ellie Mason, a run from the halfway line which took her past several challenges before burying the ball past Sian Rogers. Villa’s response was a swift one though, Emma Follis levelling the scores shortly afterwards from close range. Villa missed a great chance to go in front when a Marisa Ewers penalty was saved by Lucy Thomas but three minutes later, they were ahead through a deflected shot by Emily Syme. Chances came and went at both ends, the Lionesses going closest when a Harley Bennett free kick came back off the bar, but Ewers was to atone for her earlier penalty miss and wrap up the win for her side with the third goal, via a powerful strike from distance.

This means that Villa go into the Christmas and New Year break with a lead of three , who kept up the chase in second place by running out 4-1 winners points over . Katie Wilkinson has been in magnificent form for the Blades since the away to start of the season and she gave them a fourth minute lead, which was doubled midway through the first half by Aimee Palmer. Paige Bayley-Gayle rekindled hopes for Leicester as she pulled a goal back ten minutes later but United’s response was swift, Wilkinson restoring the two-goal advantage with her second ahead of half time. Wilkinson went on to complete her hat-trick and seal the points twelve minutes from time, when she headed in from a cross by Jade Pennock. meanwhile ensured that they remain a further three points adrift in . Beth Hepple curled home third after they also won 4-1 away from home, against a delightful free kick from 25 yards to give the Wildcats an eleventh minute lead and the star winger netted her second shortly afterwards with a Aston Villa 3 (Follis 11, Syme 26, Ewers 75) strike from the edge of the area. Hepple then London City Lionesses 1 (Mason 6) turned provider for the third, her corner being bundled in from close range by Becky Salicki. Crystal Palace 1 (Stobbs 75) Durham Women 4 (Hepple 11,24,86, Salicki 42) Palace fought back after the break and gave themselves hope with a quarter of an hour Leicester City 1 (Bayley-Gayle 34) remaining when Amber Stobbs broke through to Sheffield Utd 4 (Wilkinson 4,36,78, Palmer 24) drill home a low shot but it was Hepple’s day and P-P Charlton Athletic she crowned the victory with her hat-trick goal, Lewes slotting home from the penalty spot after Iris London Bees P-P Blackburn Rovers Achterhof had been brought down in the area.

The draw was made live on talkSPORT by Faye Carruthers and Tony Incenzo. The four group winners were guaranteed home ties in the quarter finals against one of the runners-up from the other groups. The four ties are set to take place on Wednesday 15th January, although the dates and kick off times were to be confirmed at the time of going to print.

This season’s final is scheduled for Saturday 29 February 2020 (subject to broadcast).

Women’s football supports campaign The women’s game has joined the Premier League and EFL in announcing its support for the Heads Up campaign, following unanimous backing from the women’s professional game Board, leagues and the clubs.

Launched by The FA and spearheaded by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the Heads Up campaign harnesses the influence and popularity of football to encourage more people to feel comfortable talking about, and taking action to improve, their mental health.

The focus of support from The Barclays FA Women’s Super League, The FA Women’s Championship and The FA Women’s National Leagues will be on the weekend 8/9 February, with more details to be announced in due course.

Kelly Simmons, The FA’s Director of the Women’s Professional Game said: “Over recent years the women’s game has been home to inspirational and courageous role models who have spoken honestly and openly about their mental wellbeing, driving awareness and normalising the conversation about such an important topic.

“Although research identifies that males are less likely to tackle their mental health issues, this campaign is not exclusive to a male audience and we hope this association will provide females – as well as males - with a supportive platform to be open and honest about their mental wellbeing and seek action, if it is required.

“The women’s game has always united on important societal issues and we’re grateful to the clubs whose support on 8/9 February will help reach communities across the whole of the country.”

SWPL fixtures announced The fixtures for the 2020 Scottish Building Society Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) season have been announced.

With eight teams in the SWPL 1, each side will play each other three times to complete the 21-match league calendar. From this year, there are now 10 sides in SWPL 2 who will play each other three times to complete a 27-match league calendar.

Scottish Women’s Football Executive Officer, Fiona McIntyre, said: “It’s an extremely exciting time for the Scottish game. The changes we’ve made to our senior game are significant and we strongly believe will have a positive impact for all involved. I believe we will see an incredibly competitive and exciting season across both premier leagues.”

On top of expanding SWPL 2 from eight to ten teams, there is also the introduction of promotion play-off matches to SWPL 1 and SWPL 2.

“We are delighted to implement these play-offs for 2020,” said McIntyre. “As the game develops across the board, we feel that now is the best time to provide increased opportunities for clubs to earn promotion. This will also add extra excitement to the full season and the addition of further matches for new and existing fans to attend after the leagues have concluded.”

It’s also probable that Scotland will have two places in the 2021-22 UEFA Women’s Champions League. Under the new format, associations ranked seven to 16 will enter two sides which would likely include Scotland. That means the battle for the top two in 2020 will be bigger than ever.

The first Sunday of fixtures in SWPL 1, to be played on 23rd February, have thrown up a number of intriguing games. Perhaps the biggest game of the day will be Celtic against the 13 in-a-row league winners, Glasgow City, at K-Park. In the last meeting of the sides, Celtic came away 4-1 winners to inflict the only defeat on City in the entire 2019 season.

For newly promoted Heart of Midlothian, they will travel to take on Rangers at the Hummel Training Centre. Both sides have already made big commitments to the women’s game, so this will potentially be an early indication of how both sides will fare in 2020.

The other SWPL 1 matches see 2020 runners-up, Hibernian, host Spartans in an Edinburgh derby at Ainslie Park and Forfar Farmington take on Motherwell at Station Park.

Sunday 5th April is also a key date for the diary as last season’s top four all meet.

Glasgow City host Hibernian while Rangers are at home to Celtic. It means the same fixtures will be played again on the 18th of October, which could be another huge Sunday for the final league placings.

In SWPL 2, it’s expected to be another incredibly close campaign with games extremely unpredictable.

This includes the first Sunday of the season where 2020 runners-up, Hamilton Academical, welcome Stirling University to New Douglas Park. The away side were relegated from SWPL 1 last season and will be looking to make an immediate impact in their new division.

Newly promoted Aberdeen FC Women are at home to FC Kilmarnock. Despite being in different divisions last season, the two sides met in the Scottish Cup with underdogs Aberdeen prevailing in their last encounter. The other newly promoted side, Queens Park, have a trip to McDiarmid Park to face St Johnstone.

The other two matches see Dundee United host Hutchison Vale and it’s a Glasgow derby as Partick Thistle welcome renamed Glasgow Women (previously Glasgow Girls). (www.scotwomensfootball.com)

Scott leaves Hibernian Hibernian Ladies can confirm that Head Coach Grant Scott has left the club by mutual consent.

A change in personal circumstances led him to a difficult decision.

Scott leaves having helped steer Hibernian Ladies to another successful season – both domestically and in European competition. He stepped into the role last year and enjoyed an early triumph with the Scottish Women’s Cup triumph, which led to him being named Scottish Women’s Football’s Coach of the Year.

Captain Joelle Murray will step in on a short-term basis to lead the team until Scott’s successor is named – working in tandem with the existing backroom staff.

Fraser fires Chesham into quarter finals Chesham Utd 1 Billericay Town 0 Chesham United took their place in the FAWNL Cup last eight with a hard fought 1-0 home win over Billericay Town.

A first half Gemma Fraser goal was decisive but the Division One South-West hosts had to withstand a great deal of pressure from the Division One South East high flyers before celebrating a fine victory. In fact, Chesham had several chances with excellent counter attacking play to extend their lead but were foiled by fine goalkeeping by Alex Baker, keeping the outcome in doubt right to the end.

Billericay started in fine style, moving the ball fluently and pinning the hosts in their own half Emma Bebbington is tackled by Lucy Jones for much of the opening 15 minutes. Chesham (www.jamesprickett.co.uk). keeper Lucia Delves made a fine early save, leaping to turn away a Lindsey Morgan shot destined for the top corner on three minutes and, from the resulting Zoe Rushen corner, Hannah Smith headed over from close range.

The first sign of things to come was Fraser racing clear on 17 minutes, played in by Becky Bloor , only to be denied by the advancing Baker. Otherwise, the action was mainly at the other end, Lucia Delves saving well from Esme Lancaster on 19 minutes and Smith going close with a far post header from another Rushen corner. A Lucy Jones free kick flew just wide on 32 minutes and Karissa Rodney was unable to convert a half chance from a cross on 39 minutes.

Chesham used the fast counter very effectively and on 41 minutes good work by Bloor and Kat Bowers released Fraser behind the Billericay defence and this time the finish was perfect.

Billericay started the second half with renewed urgency, Lucia Delves claiming a dangerous Rushen cross then rushing outside her area to clear from Billericay skipper Morgan. The home team responded well to the continued threat, skipper Dawne Campbell marshalling her colleagues and defenders repeatedly getting in blocks and clearances to foil the Billericay attack.

As the visitors pressed, gaps appeared at the back. Bloor played in Bowers only for Baker to turn away her shot on 75 minutes. Sub Jaqui Hanson was denied by another Baker save in a one on one and the keeper made an even better stop to prevent Fraser from doubling the lead as the match went into added time.

Chesham then used all their experience to see out time with some comfort, claiming a precious and well fought victory against good opposition in an exciting match.

Chelsea swoop for Jamie-Lee Napier Chelsea FC Women are adding to the squad for this season by signing Jamie-Lee Napier from Hibernian Ladies. The 19-year-old Scotland international has signed until 2021 and will officially join up with the Blues after the Christmas break ahead of the second half of the Barclays Women’s Super League campaign.

A young, versatile player who is capable of playing at full-back or as a winger, on the right or the left, Napier will bolster Emma Hayes’ side with her fast pace and direct playing style.

It has been an impressive year for Napier and her performances for Hibernian led to her being named as the Scottish Women’s Premier League 1 Player of the Year. She played in 33 games and she found the target 22 times.

Having represented her country at Under-17s and Under-19s level, Napier earned her first senior call-up in August in Scotland’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2021 qualifier against Cyprus.

Upon signing for Chelsea Women, Napier told the Chelsea FC website: “It feels amazing to be a Chelsea player and I’m delighted to have signed my first professional contract.

“From a young girl it’s been a dream and an aspiration of mine so I’m delighted that I’ve finally done it with such a successful club like Chelsea.”

Napier becomes the third new addition to Hayes’ squad this season, with Guro Reiten joining in the summer and Australian forward Sam Kerr putting pen to paper last month.

Hayes is excited to welcome the talented wide player as she continues to strengthen her squad in preparation for the second half of the season.

“I’m delighted to have signed Jamie,” Hayes said. “She is a really bright prospect coming from Scotland. Her personality, her hard-working spirit and quality will add something to our squad.

‘It’s important that we keep developing younger players and she is one we have identified for the future.”

Holders storm into quarter finals The Third Round of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Cup saw the four previously exempt FA Women’s National League (first) teams, all previous winners, join the dozen teams who had won through the first two rounds.

Holders Barnsley were paired at home to Sheffield Wednesday, the competition’s inaugural winners back in 2000. Barnsley are two tiers higher than Wednesday and the tie was firmly within Barnsley’s grasp with Kathryn Smith and then Mollie Crump scoring inside the first ten minutes. Lissa Woodhouse increased the advantage midway through the half with Kim Brown and Crump’s second, both inside the last ten minutes of the half, giving Barnsley a 5-0 interval lead. Crump completed her hat trick for 6-0 on the hour. Both Brown and Smith were again on the mark with Sophie Bell and Annie Ward also scoring as Barnsley finished the highest scorers in the completed third round ties.

The last four finals have been between Huddersfield Town and Barnsley and if the pair are kept apart in the draw, a fifth such encounter will not be unexpected. Town progressed to the quarter-finals via a walk over away to Sheffield Wednesday Development.

Barnsley Reserves also enjoyed a high scoring home win. They trailed to a goal by Caitlan Ross against their Sheffield FC counterparts, but Ellie Brightmore, with four, and Emily Pierrepont (2) saw the hosts go through 6-1.

The major upset of this season’s competition so far saw Socrates defeat Wakefield Trinity 4-3 after extra time to reach the last eight for the second season running. A see-saw 90 minutes had Socrates ahead and then 2-1 down at half time, while they looked on course to win through in normal time with a brace of goals before Wakefield struck very late to force extra time when Sophie Shemeld scored in the last five minutes to avert the need for penalties. Sally Lowe (2) and Beth Hardy were the 90 minute scorers for Socrates with Carly Doyle, Chloe Harrison and Rachel Stuart on target for Wakefield.

Doncaster Rovers Belles, who have won the competition most times (7) were 1-0 home winners over neighbours AFC Doncaster. Nadia Khan’s early goal decided the tie for Belles who hit the woodwork several times.

Three ties were postponed and it is try again for Sheffield FC vs Huddersfield Development this Sunday, while both Rotherham United vs Sheffield United Community Foundation and Worksop Town Women vs Oughtibridge have been re-scheduled for 5th January.

We talk to…..

Bridie Hannon (Leeds United)

Leeds United are having a good season in FAWNL Division One North and on Sunday they narrowed the gap on leaders Barnsley to three points with a 2-0 victory against Bolton Wanderers.

We talked to Leeds captain Bridie Hannon, who was pleased with her team’s display in beating Bolton on Sunday and revealed that the team is in better shape this season, mentally and physically, to make a serious challenge for the title: BH: It was a close game, I thought we dominated it overall they created some chances but we created more.

BH: Very pleased! Under Dan O'Hearne we haven't lost two in a row and it was important to get the three points to keep the pressure on Barnsley. This year we are a force to be reckoned with!

BH: Definitely, we have ground out results which we would not have done last season, we have also come from behind to win games. Our mental strength, fitness and determination is better this season.

BH: We don't have a break, we’re still in training and the county cup game has been given to us as a walkover. We may well have a league or cup game but if not we will have a friendly.

BH: At the start of the season she played an important part in scoring goals for us, as we are now midway through the season we have now got two more fantastic strikers contributing to our success. This relieves the pressure on Rebecca, she is still finding the net!

BH: Yes I think we can, although Barnsley are a good team. In both games we have played against them we have shown we can compete with them, they have scored a lot of late winners so far. We still have play both Barnsley and Brighouse and will be looking to secure all three points from each game .

BH: It is our aim to play in the Super League, as it is for the men to play in the Premier League, we feel we belong there!

Our thanks to Bridie!

The Women’s FA Cup Road to the Final LOUGHBOROUGH FOXES v HUDDERSFIELD TOWN Anna Renken scored a hat-trick and Grace Stanley added the other as Loughborough Foxes eased into the Third Round with a 4-0 victory away to Chesterle-Street Town. The Foxes have been rewarded with a home tie against fellow FAWNL Northern Premier Division side Huddersfield Town, who reached this stage after beating Stoke City on a penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw.

The club was formed in June 1988 as Huddersfield Ladies FC and joined the North East Regional League Division Two where, in their first season, they won the League Cup and were promoted to Division One as champions. Over the next few seasons there were signs that an exciting team was beginning to emerge and season 1992-93 saw them third in the league and runners-up in the League Cup. At the end of 1992-93 season, Huddersfield Ladies merged with Huddersfield Town Juniors, becoming Huddersfield Town Ladies FC. Season 1993-94 saw the first team carry all before them, losing only once all season and winning the League Championship, the League Cup and the Yorkshire Cup. The following season saw them retain the league title, winning all 16 league matches and scoring 101 goals in the process.

Eventually Town were relegated twice over successive seasons to the Yorkshire & Humberside Premier League. However, in the same period a lot of time and effort was invested in producing a new crop of talented young players from within their own junior ranks.

During the 2006-07 season, the first team finished in second place in the first season of the North East Regional Women’s Premier Division. In the 2010-11 season the club won the NERWPL league and cup double and gained promotion to the Northern Combination league under the management of Mickey Booth.

After 14 years in charge, Mickey decided to step down as first team manager at the end of the 2012-13 season. Three excellent coaches were appointed with Glen Charlesworth as manager, and Ashley Vickers and Fraser Green as his assistants. Their first season in charge couldn’t have gone much better, winning the Northern Combination title by a margin of eight points and gaining promotion to the FAWPL Northern Division.

The 2016-17 season produced two Cup Finals. The First Team won the Sheffield & Hallamshire Challenge Cup for the first time under new Manager Ashley Vickers, 2-1 against a tough Barnsley team.

Unfortunately the second final saw the team lose 4-0 to a strong Lewes side down at Brackley Town in the League Plate Final.

Last season they were the last surviving National League team in the Women's FA Cup, reaching the Fifth Round before bowing out against eventual runners-up West Ham Utd. Huddersfield are managed by Ashley Vickers with Lee Harrison as his assistant and Stuart Amos, Jordan Wimpenny and Michael Emery as coaches. They are captained by Charley Evans and Lucy Sowerby is currently the leading scorer, whilst Kate Mallin is the longest serving player, having been at the club for fifteen years. David Mallin is club Chairman and Peter Linsell undertakes the Secretary's role.

Cardiff City were founded in 1975 as Llanedeyrn Ladies Football Club after a local charity match.

After a few years in the South West League and a lot of success gained in five-a-side competitions, in 1981 the club decided to change its name to Cardiff and later that season won the All England five a side trophy, becoming the first club to take the trophy outside of England, a record still held today. Over its 44 years the club has had many name changes before becoming Cardiff City Ladies FC in 1999. It has always been an independent club owned by its members apart from a short time in 2002-03 when it linked with the men’s outfit, however, during that time whilst forging a link with the men’s set up they retained their own identity, and later became totally independent again at the start of the 2003-04 season.

In 1992-93 the FA of Wales took an interest in women’s football for the first time, by inaugurating the Welsh Women’s Cup. Cardiff were successful in getting to the final, played at the prestigious National Stadium as a curtain raiser to the men’s Welsh Cup Final, this being the first women’s game ever to be staged there and losing 1-0 to Rhyl on the day. Cardiff went on to win the Welsh cup on a record 11 occasions, bringing with it entry into the Champions League Competition, and allowing Cardiff to have played International club football against the best club teams from all over Europe in Poland, Croatia, Portugal, Slovakia and Denmark.

Cardiff City LFC have been in the FA Women’s League since 1976 and after many successful years in the FA women’s pyramid, for the first time in its history was promoted to the then FA Premier National League in 2005-06 season enjoying playing amongst the top 12 teams in the country before the new formation of the WPL in 2013. That year, they were runners-up in the League Cup Final held at Burton Albion, losing to Sheffield FC in the final and being the first non English women’s side to compete in an FA final. In season 2016-17 they repeated that achievement, unfortunately losing to Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the last kick of extra time. Also along with Norwich and Preston, they were awarded the prestigious Respect award by the league that season.

The club owes a lot of their success to the organisation and management of their voluntary coaches and committee and in 1996 formed its junior section. Back then it was for girls aged 11 to 16 but they now run a thriving junior section playing in the South Wales Girls League, at under 16’s, 14’s, 13’s and 12’s, and this season our reserves returned to play in the Reserve Midlands league. Over the years the club has also provided many Welsh International players, at under 19’s and senior level and now they are also a pivotal club at under 16’s and 17’s level.

Last season, as the start of the era of the FA National League, they had another first by linking with the FAW’s Performance Centre and welcoming many new girls into the club, along with several players who returned to their roots, also new manager Lauren Smith, coach James Thomas and her backroom team of coaches and medical staff. This resulted in Cardiff finishing in second place in the Southern Premier Division, the highest position in the club's history.

As the oldest and most successful club in Wales, Cardiff City LFC are very proud of its achievements and rich history and in June 2015 celebrated its 40th Anniversary, with a gala dinner attended by past and present players and guests amongst whom we were honoured to have members from other clubs with whom we have struck up a friendship over many years.

Lauren Smith continues as manager with Welsh international goalkeeper Laura O'Sullivan as captain. Some of the players have come up through the junior sections such as Grace Horrell, whilst Cori Williams and Kelly Isaac both joined as youngsters and have played with the club for over ten years. then of course players who have played with us for many seasons, before leaving for other clubs or University and have returned like Laura O'Sullivan who started her career with us 6/7 seasons ago, Nadia Lawrence and Jasmine Turner who left for America but has now returned.

The backbone of the club though is undoubtedly secretary Karen Jones and chairman Michele Adams, both of whom have been with the club since its early days and are hugely respected figures in the women's game, both in England and Wales.

Laura O'Sullivan, Hayley Hoare, Maria Francis-Jones, Shannon Greenway, Megan Lewis, Morgan Rogers, Kylie Nolan, Kelly Isaac, Jasmine Turner, Carrie Jones, Cori Williams, Nia Rees, Cerys Jones, Nadia Lawrence, Gwennan Davies, Josie Longhurst, Rhianne Oakley, Grace Horrell.
