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:
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
