The start of the 2024 – 2025 Hertfordshire Girls Football Partnership League season brings only the third season of competitive, grassroots football for our amazing Under 15 Purples!
Having only come together in late 2021/early 2022, a combination of a few girls who had enjoyed the experience of training with the Belles Development Squad and others who had never even kicked a ball, they all wanted to have a go – and what a job they have done!
Having barely had time to master the 9-a-side format in their first season, last season we moved to 11-a-side and we are looking to kick on this season and see what we can achieve.
Winning is always great, but first and foremost, our mission is to keep developing, keep improving, to play the very best football that we can and always have fun whilst we do it!
Come On You Purples ????⚽
