Season 2006/2007 |
Kettering Town Ladies & Girls FC continued to develop as a club and in August 2006, a third pitch was established at our home ground at Montagu Community Sports Centre to accomodate all our teams.
The 2006/2007 season proved to be one of the Club's best, in which the Senior Amazons won the County League Title. We also saw the 1st team play local rivals Rushden & Diamonds in the womens FA Cup at Rockingham Road and the Under 13's reached the final of the Ken Burton Cup played at Rushden & Diamonds. The Under 10's also had a good season finishing the year unbeaten.

History of the Club |
Kettering Town Ladies and Girls F.C were founded in May 1998 in the name of Kettering Amazons Ladies and Girls F.C. It was formed as a result of Rushden and Diamonds disbanding at the end of the 1997-1998 season, leaving players like Debbie Lovell, Deb Thurland, Ginnie James and Clare Wilson without a club. It was these four girls that got together with the help of Jason Thurland to set up a new club.
An advert was put in local papers and all schools were contacted to seek new players. There were about sixty ladies and girls turn up for the first training session. In our first season we entered a team in the league, the reserves played friendlies, and the under 15's played in the Weetabix girls league. In the summer of 2003 Jason approached Kettering Town Men's F.C and they agreed for us to play under their name.
Although we have a couple of the original players still part of the club over the years we have seen a change of management and players as one would expect. Today we have two senior teams consisting of a first team playing in the Eastern Region League and a reserve team playing in the Northants county league. We also have six youth teams ranging from under 10's to under 16's who all play in the Weetabix Youth League.
Late 2005 our patience was rewarded as we received two Charter Standard Awards.
