Our Story

Verwood Town Ladies was established over the summer of 2014.

Having formed in that long hot summer (only kidding!) with suppport from Sponsors and from Verwood Town Football Club, we entered the Dorset FA Womens League. Our first season provided us with valuable experience at both team and club level albeit finishing in the lower reaches of the league.

The second season saw a big improvement in team performances. We became an entertaining team to watch, and an even harder one to beat challenging at the top of the league for the first few months of the season, heading the league at one point, and only losing one game prior to Christmas. The winning streak was eventually broken however by Bere Regis, who would go onto win the league. A mix of circumstances, and absences meant lost impetus a little, unable to fulfil all that early promise but still achieving a respectable league position at the end of our second season.

The start of our third season necessitated a rebuilding job after university, pregnancies, new jobs and personal issues saw a number players unable to return. A number younger players were signed to support our longstanding regulars. A mixed bag of performances together with unforseen absences made life difficult early on, but as the season moved on a progressive improvement was seen.

As the third season came to a close our long term manager departed to leave the job in the hands of the current Manager, Olly Burton.
