The U9s started in September 2018 and we now have 14 girls who play regular fixtures in the Oxford Mail Girls Football League U9s section.

The current team is made up of a mix of U8 and U9 players with the U8s also taking part in Development Football Festivals run by the OMGFL on a monthly basis.

The U9 team playing regularly on a Saturday is now full but we would like to encourage new players to train with us.

We train on Wednesday evenings between 6pm and 7pm at Tugwell fields, Wantage.

Girls in years 1 or 2 can train on Wednesdays and also experience match football at the Festivals. Girls in Year 3 are also welcome to join in with training in preparation for playing in tournaments over the summer and an U10s team next season

An U9 team will progress to U10s next season and we will have a new U9s entering the OMGFL next September. We also hope to have U8s again for the 2019-20 season.

Girls football is growing rapidly and Wantage/Grove have some very talented players. We may not be able to offer an immediate team place but we will welcome new players from years 1, 2 and 3 to train with us. Please contact Steve Cooper, email swivcooper@aol.com or 07881 992335.
