BUCS SHOWCASE: Women’s Football 1st Team

The Women’s Football 1st Team are no strangers to winning. Taking home ‘Team of the Year’ at Colours Ball in 2023 after winning both their LUSL and BUCS leagues and winning the LUSL Cup at the end of the 2024. This year, they set their ambitions high, aiming for two cup and two league wins.

Their current standings are promising, placing second in their BUCS league and top of their LUSL League. This week, we look ahead to their fixture against Reading Women’s 1s. Having won 80% of their league fixtures so far, the team is in a strong position ahead of their clash with Reading this Wednesday.

As a club with a large membership and support group, the match is certain to attract a strong home crowd to support in the final BUCS match ahead of the Christmas holiday. For anyone inspired by the 1s this week, Women’s Football is a club that runs multiple Learn2 sessions a week and is always welcoming new students down to get involved.
