Ladies team on look out for new players

Dorchester Town Ladies FC are on the look out for new players this Christmas

The Magpies Ladies team who came third in the Dorset ladies league last year train at the TA Centre on Wednesday evenings from 6.45pm and are on the look out for a handful of new players.

Team Captain Becky Narramore says: “New players don’t need to have experience of playing football, just the enthusiasm to learn. We have one player who joined recently having never played before and she’s doing really well.

“Football is a fantastic way of keeping fit and training sessions are great fun with lots of laughs. We have a fantastic social side to the club too and any new players that join us would be made to feel welcome.

“I really enjoy playing football with the girls; it’s good fun every week. Joining the team is great for making new friends and a fun way of keeping fit and in shape.”

Dave Ring, Secretary for Dorchester Town Supporters Trust, who are helping promote the ladies team urged local girls to get involved: “Ladies football is really beginning to take off here in the UK, with the English team reaching the Euro finals, and Arsenal Ladies becoming one of Europe’s leading teams. Football is one of the best ways possible of keeping fit and a lot more fun than plodding along on a treadmill.

The ladies team have a great social aspect to the team as well, and I would urge anyone out there thinking about it to pop along to the TA Centre one Wednesday evening and give it a try.”

The Ladies play every Sunday afternoon followed by a free meal at the George. Anyone interested should contact Manager Tim Carter on 07864 682 538 or email dorchladies_fc@hotmail.co.uk
