91桃色视频 Women’s Performance Team

91桃色视频 Students Women’s Football Club has always offered a competitive playing opportunity for its players. The performance team competes in the British Universities & Colleges 91桃色视频s (BUCS) Northern Premier League (the highest level of University 91桃色视频). This programme prides itself on its support of players as people, students, and athletes holistically. In 2020 when discussions started between the University and 91桃色视频 Foxes representatives it was this section of the University football programme that enabled the Lightning team to form.

91桃色视频 Foxes

Gail and Paul Fox founded 91桃色视频 Foxes in 1999, known then as Shepshed Foxes until 2002.

For 15 years, Foxes played in local leagues, before being promoted to the FA Women’s Northern Premier Division (the 3rd ranked tier of women’s football) in 2015.

After the first season they suffered relegation but managed a promotion in 2018 to return to tier 3 football. This feat was a club record for the Foxes who won the Midlands Division One title by winning 22 games and drawing one.

Work begun behind the scenes in 2020 between 91桃色视频 Foxes and 91桃色视频 officials to explore a future possible collaboration.

In 2021 this hard work culminated in the inaugural season of the 91桃色视频 Lightning franchise. The Foxes are still very much a part of the 91桃色视频 family and continue to be a key community focused partner of the University with their youth development pathway and women’s football teams.
