Oxford United Ladies F.C. - History

History

The first team won the three major cup competitions in their league.

The first Oxford United Ladies team were promoted to the Southern Region Division One, for season 2006/2007, where they continued their success and again won the League.

Oxford United Ladies have won the Ladies Oxfordshire Senior Cup. A well taken penalty by Lauren Allison and a sublime finish from Stacey Coles five minutes from time saw Oxford United overcome their opponents Henley Town ladies 2-1 in front of a packed house at Bicester Town FC. "Credit must go to the girls for the win," said ladies boss Ben Thomas after the historical win.

However, despite the victory the United Ladies didn't have it all their own way on a very hot, humid and sunny Sunday afternoon in Bicester.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.
    Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
