Bangors Ladies

BANGOR LADIES
Our aim to firmly establish ourselves in North Down and the surrounding areas by the end of October 2007 which will bring our promotion launch to a conclusion.

In early preparation for the 2006 season which will be getting underway in late April, the Senior club will report back to training in February and start a very calculated and period of Pre-Season training in preparation for the 2006 Divisional Campaigns.

Once we affiliate to the sports governing body the Northern Ireland Ladies Football Association we will be accepted as bona fide member of the league and the club will be playing their home matches in Bangor at the Bloomfield Road Playing Fields. The club will be training every Sunday at The Valentines Playing Fields in Bangor and hope to have an under 14 (Junior ) Section of the club up along side the Senior Club and running next season 2007. In April the League should get underway and we are looking forward to the challenges this season will bring a minimum of 17 competitive leaue games.

Our goals for 2006 will be realistic: a top four finish in our division will represent another huge achievement and while we can hope to do some damage in the Cup competitions, a cup final appearance will be above our expectations but not beyond them. Focus in our first year will again be on building up a reputation as a top class side and the Committee are quietly confident, will can bring success to the club in a number of areas in 2007.

We will hope to endorse the clubs main sponsors BANGOR F.C. by playing under the identity of Bangor Ladies and putting together a media package which will be of mutual benefit to the club.
