WORCESTER UNITED LADIES

The 2016/17 season looked to be shaping up to be Worcester United's biggest season yet. United added to their already experienced and skillful ranks with the addition of multiple players. 

​

Going into the season Worcester started strong with a 1-0 win over a newly refurbished Redditch United outfit. 

The progression of the season saw Worcester continue to sit in the top three, with it becoming evident that the only real threat to their title winning hopes were Redditch United. Manager Ryan O'Connor and Coach Chris Cooper urged the squad to not become complacent and continue to push on with their winning ways.

​

Coming to a close it was evident the season was going to be decided in the last few games, with only a few points being the difference. The title race was very much on between United and Redditch.

​

Worcester traveled to Kenilworth for the last game of the season, comfortably posting a 3-1 win against the fourth place outfit. The final whistle saw United crowned league champions, having maintained their 100% unbeaten league record and beating rivals Redditch to the title by a significant 5 points.

The 2015/16 season saw Worcester United complete the cup double, winning both the Worcestershire FA Cup and the West Midlands Regional Cup.

​

After a strong campaign in both cups, the Worcester outfit were rewarded with the wins in both competitions.

The Worcestershire FA Cup Final saw United beat Malvern Town 2-0 at Bromsgrove Town and The West Midlands Regional Cup at Stoke, beating Coundon Court 1-0.

Despite a successful season, Worcester finished runners up to Coundon Court, a team they beat 3 times in the same season. The difference between the two teams and promotion was a mere 3 points, with Worcester having dropped simple points throughout the course of the season.

After the the 2013 / 14 season, Worcester looked to bounce back and continue to progress as a strong team and retain their place in the West Midlands Division 1 South.

​

The ladies looked to make a promising start to their league campaign, but unfortunately their first 2 results did not reflect their work and commitment, losing out narrowly to Rubery and Marston Green. Despite initial losses this did not get United down, they continued to train and play well with results gradually showing in the coming months.

​

The Christmas period proved difficult with United losing players, again a result of work commitments and injuries. Following the losses of players manager Ryan O'Connor encouraged his squad to continue their hard work and fight for their place in the league.

​

The remainder of the season was a mixed bag for Worcester with some good wins and unfortunate losses which would rather be forgotten. Despite the setbacks faced by the squad, United continued forward to secure their place, finishing 8th.

​

Following the conclusion of the season, O'Connor praised his team for their hard work and dedication they put in "We were up against it as a squad this season, we really were. But the girls have been fantastic. The dedication, work ethic, maturity everything. I can't fault them."

United kicked off their 2013/14 campaign in good form, maintaining a steady mid table position. Worcester were proving that they were a threat and were title contenders.

​

Further progressions into the season however, saw Worcester lose a number of key players a result of both injury and other unavoidable commitments. The loss of players began to show toward the end of the season, with results gradually beginning to dwindle and United dropping valuable points.  

​

Completion of a difficult season saw the ladies driven by manager Ryan O'Connor push on secure their place in the West Midlands Regional League. Finishing 9th, the ladies acknowledged that the season would be one to forget and continue to build on for the coming seasons.

Previously winning promotion to the West Midlands Regional League, the 2012/13 season was shaping up to be the United ladies biggest season to date.

​

The first season in a higher division saw the ladies win eight, draw two and lose only six games. The ladies played a strong campaign throughout the course of the season proving to be a test for other teams.

United finished the season in 4th position, having surpassed all expectations and defying all odds against teams that had already established themselves in the higher league.

The 2011/12 season saw the ladies of Worcester United maintain the momentum from their previous season, continuing to progress and taking that into only their second season as an established squad.

​

United's hard work and determination was rewarded and saw them complete the season having maintained a 100% win record across the board in all competitions. 

​

In only the second season of being formed the squad were promoted into the West Midlands Regional League, Division 1 South.

Formation in 2010, saw a new Worcester United outfit start the season as a relatively inexperienced squad, with the team having only played together on a handful of occasions .

The 2010/11 season, was where United looked to establish themselves as a competitive outfit within the Hereford and Worcestershire Football League, providing themselves with a platform to build on in the coming seasons.

Following a considerably good run of form and skill from the United players, the newly formed team finished runners up to KGV Ladies in the league, narrowly missing out on promotion by a few points.
