The Club was founded in 1994 & named Manor Athletic, playing in the North West Women's League 4th Division. The team played at Leverhulme playing fields in Bromborough. The team struggled over the following three seasons and often ended at the bottom of the division. Most of the games they were lucky to get 11 players. In 1998, the club advertised for players and there came an influx of women, many of whom had never played football before. The team renamed itself Bromborough Archers, due to sponsorship from the Archers pub, which provided them with a new kit. The club took on a female coach and began to train hard for the forthcoming season (1998 - 1999), where things began to change. The first game of this season became the clubs 1st win. The team came fourth in the 3rd division of the North West Women's League (previously the fourth). Under new management in 1999, the team came second and won promotion to the 2nd division. The new management committee had high hopes for the club and renamed it Wirral Ladies, to try and get away from the pub team image and encourage younger players to join from all over the Wirral. The following season (2000 - 2001) Wirral Ladies came second to Broughton F.C. on goal difference and lost promotion to the first division. In the season 2001 - 2002, playing their home games at West Kirby F.C. ground and getting a sponsor, whom provided a new kit, Wirral Ladies came runners up again but this time won promotion to the first division. As we were going into a better league, we advertised for more players from the age of 14. There was an influx of young players, so the committee decided to introduce training for a youth team. In January 2003, coaching began for the youth team in the Birkenhead Youth Club. The manager at the club said that we could use the gym for free on a Saturday morning, if girls from the youth club could join in. Over the following months more and more girls joined the sessions, until it was time to divide them into age groups (10 to 14) & (14 to 16). After doing some research and advertising for girls to play football, we proposed to the Club committee to start youth teams that could play in a league. Most girls come from the Birkenhead area and had never had the opportunity to play football in a girl's team. A lot of time was spent planning and preparing for the season, 2003-04. We had three youth teams at Wirral (U10, U12, U14), whom will play in the Liverpool County F.A. Girls League every Saturday morning. All age groups have played in tournaments and friendlies throughout the summer and are looking forward to this season (many of the girls have never played in a football team before). However, we also had some disappointing news this year; we lost our home pitch because West Kirby F.C. decided to keep it an in-house only pitch. We were very disappointed and will now play this season back at Leverhulme playing fields. There has been a lot of admin work carried out to make sure Wirral Ladies F.C. is a safe place for children to play football, see Child Protection policy; in accordance with the F.A. With many volunteers helping out, support from Wirral Ladies seniors & Birkenhead Youth Club, and more players (current & retired) going on coaching courses in the near future, Wirral Ladies is now aiming to be a Chartered Standard Club by the end of this year. The senior team finished mid table that season and took on a new coach Brian, who is training us hard. 2003-04 we were promoted to the Premier Division in the North West Women's Regional league after coming second place. The U12's and U14 have won the Sporting Cup in their League and the U10's won the Fair Play Award. A change of Manager for season 2004-05 and a lot of changes were made. We did not do as well as previous seasons but now feel that we know what were up against in the Premier division. The U14's won the Sporting Cup again. We started a young mixed gender team; U7's, who played friendlies and entered tournaments. They will now join the Ellesmere Port League as U8's 2005/06 season. The Juniors play in the newly formed Girls section of the Wallasey Junior League. Season 2005-06 will consist of an U8's mixed, U10's, U12's & U14's girls and our Senior team.
