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:
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
