On Saturday night the club started the new year with a success when we won Ladies Football Club of the year for 2012. This was a well deserved award and reflects the good work happening in the club.

 

The Ladies Football are collecting bags of clothes as a fundraiser, so you can now de- clutter and help the club raise funds. Bags of clothes can be left with any team coach or committee member or in The Shop. Please ask family, neighbours, friend and co-workers to fill a bag.
