Have a read of general manager Nikki Baker's notes from Saturday's matchday programme against Preston:
Luton Town Ladies have beaten five teams so far in pre-season, two from a higher level, scoring a total of 26 goals and conceding five.
New manager Rob Burton has brought in some new faces and more importantly kept the core of the team together from last season.
Some stand out performances so far have been beating Royal Wootton Basset from the same level 7-0. We then beat London Seaward 3-2 and Cambridge City 2-1, both clubs being from a level above in the National League.
Some new faces include Hitchin Town striker Janz Allen who scored 50 goals last season at a lower level, and Scottish midfielder Lauren Low, who is also the new lead physio with the Luton Town FC academy. Youngster Ella Nesbitt from MK Dons also put pen to paper with the Hatters, as well as teenage sensation Keira Palmiera, who will make her first team debut as soon as she turns 16. Alice King has signed from Oaklands Wolves as well to make it a successful pre-season so far.
The first team kick off their season on 21st August, when we will host King's Lynn Town at Kenilworth Road. Kick-off will be 2pm with £3 entry for adults and £1 for Under-16s. We then make the short journey to Bedford Ladies on the 28th, before we host Haringey on 4th September and travel to Harlow on the 11th.
There have also been several new faces join the reserves set up, which will put them in a good position when their season starts on the 4th September.
General manager Nikki Baker gave her thoughts on the season’s preparation so far, saying:
“There is a great feel around the team and real togetherness. We have pulled off some really good results and although it’s only pre-season, it mentally gives us an edge going into the season. We have made some good signings to add to our existing group of players and we are hoping to hit the ground running. We are particularly excited about playing at Kenilworth Road for the first game and would love to see a crowd there.”
Things have been progressing well with the youth section too. With the new season just weeks away now, the girls have started to regroup back to training and raring to go. A few friendlies are underway and some great results coming out of them. We start this season with 12 teams in the u8s league right through to the u18s, Tiny Hatters (2-6yrs) & Little Hatters (Beginners 6-11). Keep an eye out on a Saturday morning for games at Lancaster Avenue and Dallow Primary School.
We are still looking for girls to join the club in the U9s, U10s and looking to add a 2nd team in the U11s age group. Tournaments over the summer have been very successful with trophies galore.
If you would like your daughter/relative to join our squads just drop us a message on any of the media platforms @LTLFCYT or email LTLFCYT@outlook.com for further information. We are here to help girls into football and be our future Ladies team and Lionesses.
