Bristol Ladies Union 1st v Fry Club JFC Women, 25th October 2026. We were all channelling Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz as we approached the pitch on Sunday, expecting the wind to blow everything away and us with it. Conditions were dry, which was a small consolation, but the Read more
Winchcombe Town Ladies 1st v Bristol Ladies Union 1st, 11th October 2026. A stressful morning for me as over the course of 2 hours I had 3 players contact me to tell me they’d have to pull out, mainly due to illness. It’s that time of year. Consequently we were Read more
Bristol Ladies Union 1st v Wessex Wanderers Women, 27th September 2026. A last minute fixture reversal gave us a home match against Wessex Wanderers. Within the space of 24 hours we’d lost 3 players to illness and injury, so we only had one substitute available, but we’d brought along our Read more

Tuffley Rovers Ladies 1st v Bristol Ladies Union 1st, 17th May 2026 First of all, sorry for radio silence for the last two matches, but my already weak writing skills had left me for a bit. I definitely wasn’t going to leave out the final match of the season though, Read more
Bradley Stoke Ladies 1st v Bristol Ladies Union 1st, 12th April 2026 Another day of mixed weather (why do I seem to always start with the weather), this time starting the match into the fairly strong wind. Once again we had a bare 11 players, so managing energy levels was Read more
Bristol Ladies Union 1st v Abbeymead Rovers Ladies 1st, 29th March 2026. It was the third encounter with Abbeymead this season, and we’re used to the games being competitive and the score-lines being tight. This time we were on our own ground, which should have given us a bit of Read more
Bristol Ladies Union 1st v Andoversford Women, 22nd March 2026. A warm and sunny Spring day, and we were back on our home ground after weeks of driving up and down the M5. Also for the first time in months we had a full squad, so plenty of substitutes to Read more
