Women’s and Girls football is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK and hopefully on the back of the awesome Lionesses, successfully “Bringing it home!” at Euro 2022 it will only get bigger and better.

A far cry from times when Women and Girls were not even allowed to play!

A brief history, at Moulton FC we first added a Ladies team back in 2010, winning the County League & Cup Double in 2014/15. The following year winning the East Midlands Div I in 2015/16 before returning to the County league in 2016/17 and a rebuilding process commencing…

We enjoyed more success winning the NTFA Cup 2017/18 before narrowly missing out on the league in 2018/19 when we experienced 4 ACL injuries within one season to the starting 11. Then unfortunately C-19 came along and effectively wiped out 2 seasons of Ladies County League football.

Our new coaching team was formed during the C-19 period with Patrick O’Dwyer (formely of Kingsthope Jets Ladies and Coventry Ladies) joining Georgia Webb (slowly recovering from her ACL reconstruction). I have been involved with the girls and Ladies section of Moulton FC since 2007, coaching a very successful Junior team and taking them all the way through and into Ladies.

With football returning at all levels last season it was a youthful Ladies team that took to the field with 6 of the match day squad being 17 or under.
Five of those six coming through the club youth section and the successful U17’s (Successfully Managed by Rachel Clipston to a league title in their last season at youth football) these joined a further 5 within the squad that had all played youth football at Moulton.

Moulton previously had a very successful female section and we are now in the process of rebuilding that focussing on the younger age groups U9’s and U7’s.

We finished a reasonable if not slightly disappointing 4th last season whilst also reaching the NTFA Cup Final but unfortunately coming out 2nd best on the day, to a very strong NTFC side.

On a personal note I have been Managing/Coaching teams at all levels since the age of 17 and now at the age of 51, I am as excited about the times ahead in the game and at Moulton FC with both the Male and Female sections as I was when I first started coaching.

The season ahead is an exciting time within the Ladies squad, and we have a number of new, current and previous players participating in training every week.

Our season commences on Sunday 11th September with fixtures still to be announced.

We train on Wednesdays at Moulton FC and if you are interested in joining a superb group of Ladies then please contact webb.david@hotmail.co.uk
