The Women’s team continue to strengthen their position with the addition of a new Development Squad in 2020 and a partnership with Withdean Youth FC to provide a clear pathway for girls into senior Women’s football. The hard work continues throughout the club, with representation in more leagues and divisions than ever before in the club’s history with Men’s and Women’s First Teams, Women’s Development Squad, Men’s Under 23’s and Under 18’s and Youth Teams from Under 7’s to Under 16’s.
