Newlaithes FC Ladies

t one better and were crowned County League Champions.

2008/09 the good progress continued as we won an historic treble, winning the Longhorn U16 League, League Cup and County Cup. We were also unbeaten throughout the season, conceding only 7 goals in all competitions. We are also proud to have represented Cumberland FA in the Northern Regional Finals of the Tesco Cup at Wythenshawe.

2009/10 we made the big step into Women's football, competing in the Cumbria Women's League. We finished in 6th place and were only 1 win away from achieving our pre-season target of a top half finish. We did achieve some success though as runners-up in the League Cup - a fantastic achievement for such a relatively young squad.

2010/11 the progress was maintained and we finished runners-up in the League, finishing only two points behind the champions. We were also runners-up in the League Cup for the second year running.

2011/12 saw the start of a new era for the team with several of the established squad members having left for university during the previous summer. This opened the door for a crop of talented young players who very quickly found their feet in Women's football, helping the team to win the League cup final.

2012/13 the young players continued to establish themselves with the team finishing runners-up in both the Cumbria Women's League and the League Cup.

2013/14 saw more changes and with the addition of a number experienced players we won the Cumbria Women's League Cup for the 2nd time, finishing 3rd in the league.

2014/15 It was announced that there wouldn't be a Cumbria Women's League so we took the decision to join the Northumberland County Women's Football League (NCWFL). It was a frustrating season as we struggled with player availability but were still able to finish mid table. The summer of 2015 saw the inaugural Cumbria Women's Summer League and we finished Champions with a 100% record.

2015/16 we were boosted by the signing of some young players as well as the return to the game of some former players, we had a better season in the NCWFL finishing runners-up in the league cup

In the summer of 2016 we retained the Cumbria Women's league title and also won the league cup.

2017 we won the newly named Cumberland FA Women's League for the 3rd year running. A fantastic achievement given the number of injuries we encountered.

2018 we finished runners-up having gone the whole season unbeaten. Unfortunately we were deducted 3 points as we were unable to field a team for a fixture and we lost the resulting play-off. There was some consolation as we retained the league cup.

2019 we once again completed the league and cup double, winning all but one of our matches.

2020 unfortunately the season was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.

2021 we were back in action as the restrictions were lifted and we went on to retain the league title, once again winning all but one of our games. We are always looking to strengthen the squad and welcome enquiries from new players. Any player aged 16 or above is eligible to play Women's football so if you would like to join a friendly and enthusiastic team then please contact us through this page.
