12/08/09 - KLGFC are thinking of adopting a new logo.
Option two is to keep the existing logo. There is also a suggeston to use an updated version of the existing logo (just the old one shown above). Please let us know what you think. Feedback can come via the website, the Facebook site, or your manager. The most popular will be adopted as the logo for future seasons.

The Under 15s entered two teams into the Woburn Tournament, with two players from the Under 14s. The whites finished third in their group, thanks to a bizarre late goal in their last game. The Reds finished equal first but were placed second on goals scored. They then played Moulton Magpies in the semi-final and won with the score of 3-0 (Sorry Becca - one of our Ladies players that coaches Moulton!). Then the reds played Cambridge City, who had won their semi-final on penalties. The final was a very tight game that went all the way and finished 0-0 AET and again went to penalties. The Reds held their nerve 3-2 to win the tournament. Congratulations! The Ladies competed in the same tournament and lost in the semi-final to a very good Ditton Ladies side. Compliments to Woburn Lionesses for a very well organised tournament.
The under 12s and two Ladies teams entered the tournament at Boldmere Falcons in Birmingham. Again this was a well run tournament, held at a Goals centre. The under 12s unfortunately lost the semi-final on penalties. The ladies finished as runners-up and picked up some nice trophies. The honours page has been updated accordingly
17/06/09 - George Chaplin has accepted the offer to be part of the Under 14’s Northampton FC Girls Centre of Excellence next season; she will miss her friends, team and the club but also thanks the team for supporting her in the decision.
Joanne Gilding has also been given an extended 6 week trail which starts in July. Good luck
The award winners from Presentation Night are now available in the Stats --> Season Awards section.
A mixed u15s/u16s team won the Milton Keynes tournament. Well done girls! They won their group, then won their semi-final 3-0. The final like many of the games was a tight affair and it was 0-0 after extra-time. Kingsthorpe held their nerve to win on penalties. A second team lost the semi-final of the plate competition on penalties.
04/06/09 - WELL DONE to the Under 12’s Girls for picking up the first silverware of the summer, winning the Parklands Tournament on the 24th May. Kingsthorpe won a close semi-final, getting through by a sudden death penalty scored by Becky. They went on to beat local rivals Duston in the final. Manager Mirek Urban said, "Well done team you all did fantastic, and keep up the hard work at training." A photo of the trophy presentation has been added to the U12s team page.

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!

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.

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."
