U11's v Derby County Ladies White Sox

Belper U11's faced one of the two top sides in the league on Saturday. Derby County teams, the black socks and the white socks are both formidable teams.


Belper have been defeated by both so far this year despite playing some excellent football.


Todays game proved to be a hard battle in the conditions at Cavendish Fields. The first half was a tough fought encounter with both teams pressing, Belper definitely putting the break advantage Derby. Belper were also unlucky to concede a penalty towards the end of the half, both teams were happy to be drawing at half time.


In the second half, Belper just about won the half with an outstanding team effort from all the players. The whole team played what could have been their best football to date. No other goals were scored and Belper had to be contented with a draw despite 3 chances close to the death.


A first class performance from the girls....

U11's v Outwoods

After a wait of six weeks the U11's finally had a league game. Todays opponents were the very much improved Outwoods FC, at a meeting earlier in the season Belper ran out clear winners, however today Outwoods gave the U11's a good game.


For this game, the U11's fielded 11 players which is a first for the season.

True to form, Belper controlled all areas of the pitch and Daisy scored the first goal after 2 minutes. More goals from Elisia and Daisy gave Belper a good lead by half time. Just before the whistle for HT, Outwoods got a goal back. Despite a good save from Elizabeth, Outwoods got the ball in the back of the net from the rebound.

In the second half, Molly went in goals for Elizabeth who injured a finger in the first half. Due to a messed up clearance Outwoods managed to get another goal back. Belper managed another five goals in the second half. Goals from Maddie, Daisy and Faith helping Belper reach double figures.

Outwoods were 100% better than the last meeting between the two teams, but Belper kept in control and all the team played excellent.

Next week is against Toton at Alvaston.

Sheffield FC day out 29th October 2017

Belper Sports Ladies enjoyed another day out at their sister club today.


Sheffield FC were playing Durham FC in the Women's Super League div 2 match. The Belper players were given chance to meet some of the Sheffield in a Q & A session before the game began.


Our girls were also given the chance to be flag bearers and player mascots as the two teams walked out.

Despite the game not going to plan for Sheffield, losing 4 -0 to a very dominant Durham team, all our girls seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.
