This has arguably been the most successful season in our club’s history.
We have had four teams regularly competing – three of which have been in the BUCS leagues, whilst our development team have been playing in a casual league.
The club finished ninth in the country for women’s football, thanks to our many achievements this season.
The first team won the Western 1A league, and also won the play-offs – leading to promotion to the Southern Premier League next season. This is an achievement that the whole club are incredibly proud of!

As well as this, the 1s was one of the two Bristol teams to make it to the BUCS Big Wednesday Trophy Cup Final in Nottingham – it is the first time we have ever competed in this day, and so it provided a great opportunity to gain recognition on a national scale.
The 2s managed to hold their own in a new, tougher league, and also made it to their cup quarter finals. This is promising for next year as we look towards promotion for them too.
The 3s finished second in the Western 3A league, despite it only being their second season competing in BUCS, and having finished fifth in the same league last season.
Our development squad has provided an environment where anyone of any ability or experience is able to go and play football in a more relaxed and friendly setting.
A very interesting and important read from one of our own, and also a good opportunity to remind you all that it’s never too late to join the club!!

We are therefore very pleased to be a club that has something for everyone, and nobody is ever turned away.
Being able to grow as a club in both membership and performance is no easy task, but the growth in Women’s Football as a sport has allowed us to do this, and we’re so excited to see what the club will achieve in the future.
