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:

    There is no history of how bad became better.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.
    Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
    Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
