I know it was a big night for the OSC tonight but it was also a historical night for Accrington Stanley Ladies FC.
Tonight Accrington Stanley Ladies beat the University of Central Lancashire by 9 goals to 8 in a pulsating match at Preston Sport's Arena.
As well as the Ladies playing in the LFA League Division Two they are also in the FA Winter League which runs from October to March 07.
It was a great game with most first teamer's making an appearance. The goals came from Amy Sowerbutts (7) and Sparkie (2), one a Gary Robert's special eh Sparks!!! lol
The game did not go all Stanley's way with them going down 4-2 at the break but with a positive teamtalk at half-time, Stanley came back the stronger with them consistently taking hold of the lead on five further occasions to win the game. It was end to end stuff throughout and something I think the girls who took part enjoyed!
Anyway, it was a great showing by all the girls and hopefully it can create some momentum to take them further forward. Just to put things into perspective, the University team has been together for over 3 years, the Stanley Ladies team just 12 weeks!
The next couple of games are HUGE games for the girls against the top two, Rochdale LFC Away on Sunday and Rossendale Borough at home a week on Sunday, all are welcome, it's free admission, and now we have moved to King George V Playing Fields the crowds are picking up which is great to see for all involved!
Thanks to everyone who's supported us so far and hopefully we can get some good future results like this one!!!!
