Mole Valley Girls U-18s are to represent Leatherhead FC from the 2021/22 season, when they hope to play in the South East Counties Women’s League.
The Tanners play in the Isthmian League Premier Division and in 1975 famously led first division Leicester City 2-0 in the FA Cup 4th Round, before bowing out 3-2.
Neil Harlow, Leatherhead FC Women’s Manager, told leatherheadfc.com: “The overall aim is to create a competitive women’s team playing alongside Leatherhead men’s team where there are great facilities, resources and standing to enable our girls to continue representing Mole Valley as a beacon of women’s football in the south-east of England. Leatherhead FC is a club with a tremendous heritage and a bright future and we are determined to ensure that the women’s football team is a big part of that”.
Speaking on behalf of Mole Valley Girls FC, Denise Davenport said; “By working with Leatherhead FC we are offering a pathway into another leading club in the area. At MVGFC we will continue, as we have done since 2010, to offer access to grassroots football to all young girls and older players within the region.”
“We are delighted that Neil and his team will continue to be involved with MVGFC, with a number of players committed to coaching and developing our younger teams.”
