With Head Coach Chris away in Bristol supporting the ladies team, today’s sessions were led by coaches Paul, Michael and Tyler. This was no small task considering it was the first session back after the half term break, when players always return eager for their futsal fix. Following recent matches in Leeds across the various […]

It was the U15s’ turn to step into the spotlight in the West Riding Girls Futsal League, travelling to Batley with confidence running high after last week’s mixed fortunes for the U11s and U14s. Building on the success of an unbeaten run in the JPL League in Hull, Bootham’s squad featured several players who had impressed […]

On 14 February, Valentine’s Day, Bootham Ladies made another long journey to London to take on Bloomsbury B in the latest round of the FA National Futsal Series Tier 2 competition.

In the first game of the year in the Girls Junior Futsal Series, Bootham travelled to Hull to face Hull Eagles Futsal Blues.

Bootham returned to league action looking to stop the slide after two agonisingly narrow defeats on the road. A first-ever meeting with Southampton Athletic awaited, with the team once again making the trip to Nottingham, a venue that had been kind to them in the past, yielding victories in both previous visits. This time, however, […]

Sunday marked a return to a full three-hour coaching block, and with the weather outside once again doing its best to disrupt plans, unsettled skies and dropping temperatures, the warmth and shelter of the indoor court was more than welcome. Even more welcome, though, was the outstanding commitment shown by the academy girls throughout the […]

After the disappointment of narrowly losing their previous fixture, Bootham Ladies made the long trip south to London to face Maidenhead for the first time in National League Tier 2.
