CLUB HISTORY
21 Dec 2006

LONDON GIRLS FORMED IN 1989 BUT LONDON,LADIES.WOMEN.CORINTHIANS WERE ORIGINALLY FORMED IN THE 1940'S BEFORE THE ACTUAL BAN THAT THE GOVERMENT PUT ON WOMEN PLAYING FOOTBALL,CHANGED TO ALLOW LEAGUES AND WOMEN PLAYING FOOTBALL START OF 70'S

OUR TEAMS FROM THE PRESENT DAY HAVE CARRIED ON FLYING THE FLAG FOR WOMEN'S FOOTBALL
AT THE START OF THE 90'S LONDON HAD 5 LADIES TEAMS AND SIX JUNIOR SIDES BECAME TO BIG FOR A FEW OF US TO RUN SO WE SLIMMED OUR TEAMS AND SOME OF OUR PLAYERS WENT OFF AND FORMED THEIR OWN TEAMS.WE HAVE AT LEAST SIX TEAMS STILL PLAYING FORMED OR KEPT GOING BY OUR OLD PLAYERS.OLD ADDEYANS,LONG LANE,HOMESDALE,VALLEY VALIENTS ALL THESE AND MORE HAVE BEEN FORMED IN SOME WAY DUE TO THE LONDON TEAMS.
OUR CLUB MOVED TO ITS CURRENT SITE BEFORE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY AND MUST BE ONE OF THE ONLY CLUBS ANYWHERE THAT IS RUN BY THE TEAMS AND THEIR FRIENDS.EVERYBODY WORKS FOR FREE,ALL BAR MONEY GOES TO THE RUNNING OF THE TEAMS,THIS MEANS ANY MONEY COMING ONTO THE CLUB IS PUT BACK INTO FOOTBALL AT LONDON GIRLS.
WE BELIEVE WE ARE DIFFERENT TO MOST CLUBS IN THAT EVERY MEMBER IS ENCOURAGED TO HELP OTHER PLAYERS IN ALL AGE GROUPS,ALL PLAYERS ARE TOLD THEY HAVE TO PLAY IN LOWER TEAMS WHEN ASKED THERE IS NO ELITEISM,THIS WAY OUR TWO LADIES SIDES FUNCTION AS A SQUAD AND NOT INDIVIDUAL TEAMS OUR VERY GOOD JUNIOR SIDES ARE ENCOURAGED TO PUT OUT WEAKER TEAMS AGAINST WEAKER OPPOSITION SO WE DO NOT CRUCIFY UP AN COMING TEAMS.
WE HAVE WON MANY LEAGUES AND CUP AND TOURNAMENTS OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER QUITE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THAT FINAL PUSH TO REACH THE TOP OF THE LADIES GAME.
WE STILL HAVE A PROGRAM FROM THE HOUNSLOW LEAGUE THAT HELP KICK START GIRLS FOOTBALL IN LONDON TO THE FORMING OF THE GREATER LONDON LEAGUE(STILL GOING)TO THE FORMING OF COMBINATION LEAGUES AND CURRENTLY THE MORE LOCAL COUNTY LEAGUES
OUR TEAMS HAVE PROGRESSED FROM DIVISION7 OF GLWFL WITH FULHAM ENTERING THE SAME YEAR, TO THE PREMIER OF THAT LEAGUE FULHAM GOING ONWARDS TO THE DIZZY HEIGHTS OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.AT THAT TIME THE MAJOR TEAMS OF TODAY WERE RUNNING LOTS OF WOMENS TEAMS UNDER THEIR BANNER OBVIOUSLY THIS HAD TO CHANGE
AT THAT TIME ARSENAL,WIMBLEDON CHELSEA AND OTHERS HAD 5,6,7 TEAMS PLAYING AS RESERVES,3RDS.4THS
AND SO ON,YOU HAD TO HAVE MORE WOMENS TEAMS FROM ALL OVER TO CREATE COMPETITION AND ALLOW NEWLY FORMED TEAMS IN. WE WERE ONE OF THE FORE RUNNERS WHO HELPED TO DIVERSIFY WOMENS FOOTBALL
