Welcome to the home of Colchester United Ladies Football Club photography.
The club was founded in 1992 as the Colchester Royals and became affiliated to Colchester United FC in 1998.
There are two senior Ladies teams who play their football in the National Premier League (South).
There are also four Centre of Excellence teams from U10s to U16s level and the Female Football Academy for 16-19 year olds based at the Thurstable School & Sports College.
In 2009, the Centre of Excellence is now going into its eleventh year and the Female Football Academy is into its fifth year.
The talented youngsters from the U16s and the academy can also be selected to play for the senior teams and a new Girls Development Centre was launched in 2005 to nurture young girls from 4 years old upwards and feed into the Centre of Excellence squads from U10s level.
In the first year back at South East Combination Level, the club achieved their highest league position to date and finished a very creditable fourth place. This was coupled with the a great FA Cup run where the team reached the Fourth Round.
In 2006/2007 the club reached new heights and finally became champions of the South East Combination League after just two seasons, and this was coupled with achieving the double after the Ladies also successfully won the South East Combination League Cup Final.
The reserve team were also crowned champions of the reserve league.
The Ladies went one better in the Women's F.A. Cup reaching the 5th round after they successfully negotiated a tough win against Aston Villa in the Fourth Round.
This victory bought the club the accolade of "Team of the Round" before they finally succumbed to the national league giants Birmingham City in the 5th round.
All enquiries regarding training and the Centre of Excellence should be directed to femalefootball@cucst.org.uk or telephone 01206 216407 |
