Gillingham Football Club

Gillingham Ladies were back on the road this week to face London Corinthians in their Quarter Final of the Kent Women’s Cup and were looking to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games. 

London Corinthians made a good start to the game and opened the scoring half way through the first half, then five minutes before half time Gills Ladies had goalkeeper Sarah Quantrill sent off for bringing down the London Corinthians striker Danielle Harrison outside the box.  Gills Ladies introduced Emma Tune for the second half and had a couple of good chances, but were unable to find the equaliser and their defence of the Kent Women’s Cup came to an end.

The next match sees Gills Ladies return to FA Women’s Premier League action and the team travel to Cambridge Utd Ladies on Sunday. Good luck girls.

Congratulations to Megan Maslak (who is on loan at Strike Force FC) scoring two goals to help the team progress to the Quarter Final stage of the Kent Women’s Plate. Well done Megan.

Last week the girls headed to Chelsea and our week of remembrance continued as the Girls wore their poppies with pride and remembered those that had been lost.

This week our U17s will face Middlesex FA at home in the 1st Round of The FA Girl’s U17s Centres of Excellence Youth Cup, the winner of the tie will move on to the 2nd Round taking place in December. The rest of the squads will be playing Arsenal at home, good luck everyone.

We recently joined the Ladies of the University of Kent as they celebrated Women’s Football but before the celebrations got underway there was just enough time for a Soccersize session. 

As well as working hard in lessons this week the Girls Academy tested their Futsal skills as they joined the Trust at the #KinderFutsalCup held at the King’s School in Rochester while also assisting the coaches on the day, thanks girls
