Keeping The Title In Reach

What a season it has been for Glasgow City! They dropped their only point of the season so far on Sunday when they drew 0-0 with Rangers Ladies but with 4 games to go the current Champions are looking to keep the trophy in the cabinet for another year.

With the SWF Premier League Cup already won, I am sure they want to add to their success and what better way than to win another league title.

The ladies can certainly score goals! So far they have scored 87 goals in the league this season with  midfield Suzanne Lappin totalling up 19 goals and young Sarah Crilly hitting the back of the net 12 times.   

They also have Champions League football to look forward to with a game against Standard Liege on the 9/10 October.

Glasgow City's next game is away to second place Hibs who are currently 11 points behind the leaders.

The Point of this Blog

So I am new to blogging and new to getting myself involved with women's football.

I have always had a passion for football and over the last year or so I have found myself getting more and more frustrated with the lack of advertising, promotion and enthusiasm for ladies football.  It's something I became passionate about and something I wanted to change.

I want to use this blog to help promote as well as inform fans of the beautiful game about what's going on with women's football in the UK.
