Later History
During its history the team played 828 games, winning 758, drawing 46, and losing 24.
The teams' name changed to Preston Ladies F.C. in the latter part of the 1920s and carried on playing until 1965.
The FA finally recognised women's football in July 1971, 50 years after they had banned the game.
A Preston North End W.F.C. exists today (and is playing in the Women's Northern Championship), but is unrelated to this team.
