Westmorland FA has always supported the small sided game for women in the County seeing the Umbro FIVES competition as a valuable tool to aid the development of women’s football in the Cumbria. This competition proved vital in the setting up of the Cumbria Women’s League three seasons ago with a number of teams formed from the Umbro FIVES entries in previous years. Last season four teams from Cumbria travelled down to Bury to compete in the regional qualifier following two events featuring 14 teams from across the County.
If you’re interested in taking part in regular small sided football or in any form of the women and girls game, please contact Helen Aitchison, Girls and Women’s Football Development Officer on 01539 730946 or Helen.Aitchison@WestmorlandFA.com
