Our Girls Pathway

30 November 2024
Our Girls Pathway is flourishing & growing season after season. A couple of years ago we only had 1 team, now we have 5 teams full of girls just enjoying football. As a club, we try our best to support our players & ensure they enjoy their time at the club. Ex-player, Megan Egdall, now at Golcar United Ladies FC & Bradford City AFC , spent many years in a mixed team at Linthwaite, supported each week on the sidelines from her father Sean Egdall . Sean has supported grassroots clubs throughout the Colne Valley area for many years, via his business, ‘ On The Move Removals ’. Over the years, he has seen Girls sat on the sidelines in cold & wet conditions without anywhere to sit comfortably. He wanted to change things and ensure the Girls are comfortable while they are on the sidelines. With this, he has supported all 5 of our Girls Teams by providing them with comfy benches, ensuring they have a safe dry area to set when on the sidelines. Thank you very much for your continued support Sean, both the girls & the club, really appreciate the huge difference you have made to their match day experience.
