Running for over ten years and still going strong |
Established in 1994, the club was originally known as Kent Magpies of Blackheath. Over the years, the club has re-located to various grounds within the South East London area, but has to date always played within the boundaries of the London Borough of Greenwich. Kent Magpies Ladies FC were based for many years at Poly Sports, Kidbrooke Lane SE9 but due to circumstances out of our control we had to move at the end of the 06/07 season. We are currently based at The Oaks Sports Ground in Starbuck Close, Footscray Road, Eltham, SE9 2TD.
Initially the club attracted players from the Blackheath and Lewisham area but as we grew in size and reputation, we now enjoy players from all different areas of London and Kent.
In previous years the club has been associated with women’s Schools of Excellence. Whilst playing for Kent Magpies, many of our players have also participated in Schools of Excellence football. Other talented girls have gone on to play for Arsenal, Charlton, Chelsea, Fulham and Millwall to name but a few. Kent Magpies can also boast that several of their players, past and present have progressed through the ranks of football to attain England recognition.
In November 2005 we were awarded FA Charter Standard.
We have received funding and sponsorships over the years from numerous businesses within London, Kent, the London Borough of Greenwich and Awards for All Lottery Association. Our kit sponsor since 2006 is SELCO Builders Warehouse.
From Mar/April 2007 the Senior section of the Club became independant.
