26/10/08 - Everyone at Kingsthorpe LGFC would like to congratulate Danielle Charlton on becoming the first ever player to score 200 goals for Kingsthorpe. From her first goals in under 14s 7-a-side in November 2002 through to Women's football in October 2008; a fantastic achievement of which we are all very proud. Well done Dannie! Dannie scored her 200th from the penalty spot, and then bagged a brilliant 20 yard left footed strike in the Ladies 5-2 victory over local rivals Abington Athletic.
12/10/08 - A big KLGFC WELL DONE to Maisie Brudenall who scored her 100th goal for the club, which was the second of two quality strikes in the Jag's 10-1 demolition of Moulton Fields this afternoon. Maisie becomes the fifth KLGFC player of all time to reach the magic 100 mark.
17/09/08 - Congratulations to Lauren Smith who reached the magic 50 goal mark with a double at the weekend taking her to 51. Meanwhile, Maisie Brudenall is just 6 away from becoming the fifth ever player to reach 100 goals for the club. Dannie Charlton is now also just 5 away from becoming the club's first ever player to reach 200 goals.

We also made the front cover of Midlands Football People (pictured). Further coverage of the game, including FIFTY FIVE photographs (all three goals are captured, there are four great shots of the second goal and one of the winner hitting the back of the net), can be found on Glenn Lawrence's website www.ladiesfootball.moonfruit.com.
12/02/08 - The race night was a success and made some money to help support the club. Many thanks to those who attended and/or sponsored a race or a horse.
20/11/07 - Well done to Hannah Glasspool for becoming the 14th Kingsthorpe Ladies and Girls player to reach the magic 50 goal mark. Hannah needed four goals this week to reach 50, but not content with that, Hannah fired home SEVEN in the Under 13's 11-0 win over Drayton Grange!!! Lauren Smith is currently the next player in line to reach 50 goals for the club.
12/11/07 - Scoring a lot of goals? The club records page has been expanded (found under 'Club' above). It now includes records for the highest number of consecutive games scored in, and also the most consecutive games a player has scored a hat-trick in. For example, Charlotte Burrows scored a hat-trick in 6 consecutive games in 2004, and scored in 35 consecutive games!!!
Have you got any suggestions for imporvements to the website? If so, please let us know using the contact page. It's your website so we'll try to give you what you want.
20/08/07 - Please remember that the club is run by volunteers and we are always looking for more volunteers to help out. This can be anything from coaching to marking pitches, to helping in the tuck shop, to becoming part of the committee. At the moment we particularly need someone to take minutes at monthly committee meetings and referees for the games of all teams. If you can help (with ANYTHING), please don't assume that you are not needed because nobody has asked you specifically. Volunteer! We need you! Please see any manager or committee member for more information or to volunteer. The club can also be contacted via the Contact Us pages of this website. For those not interested in volunteering, please try to support any of our fun days and activities, and encourage friends and family to do the same. Not only will you all have a great time, but it raises valuable funds to keep the club going. Thank you.
23/07/07 - Thanks to everyone who attended all or part of yesterday's fun day. Everyone had a great time and we also raised over £70 for the club. Thanks also to everyone who volunteered to help make the event possible and so enjoyable.
The football was won by the men, who confidently (if not skillfully) beat the girls in a closely contested and enjoyable game. There were some great skills (ish) and some embarrasing moments (definitely) to remember!
The quiz was won by the imaginatively titled "Pretty Things", consisting of Yvonne, Carole, Denise, Spike and Mark, who narrowly beat the 'Marathon Men'.
And most importantly... the Kingsthorpe Ladies and Girls FC annual Car Rally 2007 was won by the Pink Panthers. They are pictured below receiving their chocolates and trophy from KLGFC Chairman, Steve Hill. Well done! The Pink Panthers beat off strong competition from the Swift Stars and the Fronteras to claim a victory in the tie-breaker. We hope to see you all come along and try to win the trophy next year! Look out for the next car rally in around 10 or 11 months time!
15/06/07 - To add to the amazing feat of getting all results for the club EVER online yesterday, we now have the Statistics section updated with annual stats since the club began. ('Season Stats' in the 'Stats' menu above.) Every team for every season has stats, as does the club as a whole for each season. Also available are stats for the whole club since forming.
Some examples... The Under 10s scored a league goal on average every 18 minutes this season and the Ladies scored 87 in total this season. The club as a whole was better away than at home this year. We had a goal difference of +17 away (earning 91 points), but a goal difference of -42 at home (earning only 73 points)!!! Looks like we enjoy travelling!
The club's biggest win this year was 14-3, but the biggest win ever was 25-0. (Club records page coming soon!)
Since forming, KLGFC have played 636.5 hours of football over 589 games, winning 311, drawing 50 and losing 228, with a goal difference of +792. Have a look and discover some amazing facts of your own!
14/06/07 - This website now contains every fixture, result, scorer and final league table for every Kingsthorpe LGFC season since the club was formed (2001). They are available in the archive section of the fixtures/results and the league tables within the Matches and Stats menus above. Remember the first ever game you attended? Look up the result and the scorers to check we're not making it up!
08/05/07 - Click here to see a couple of videos with some skills to learn for next season! (Broadband recommended.)
29/04/07 - We are pleased to announce that Kingsthorpe Ladies and Girls Football Club is now an FA Charter Standard Development Club. This is a step up from the basic Charter Standard award that we achieved a few years ago. The new status illustrates that we are a club that is still improving, and has plans to develop even further. The main aim for development at present is to improve links with the community and we are currently offering our football coaching expertise to various local schools. Well done to the club committee and all involved with achieving this award.
24/04/07 - Congratulations to Ian Phillips, Pete Robinson and Claire Swift, who all finished the London Marathon on Sunday. Between them, they have raised about £3,000 for Sense (National Deafblind Association). Claire Swift & Pete Robinson ran together from the Blackheath start and finished in 5 hours 55 minutes & 56 seconds. Ian Phillips started at Greenwich and completed the course in 4 hours 42 minutes & 10 seconds.
In an exclusive interview for KLGFC News, Under 14's Leopards manager Ian Phillips commented,
"Hearing the Leopards anthem from the travelling 'Barmy Army' around the streets of London was a huge boost! A fantastic and memorable day for all three runners and their families, in not the best running weather."
Well done from everyone at Kingsthorpe Ladies & Girls Football Club, and thanks to everyone who supported them!!!
