Women’s Football
Easton Cowgirls are a women’s football club based in Easton, Bristol. The Cowgirls organise training and football games to enable women of all ages and abilities to play football. The club was founded in 2002 and is run entirely by volunteers. It is part of the Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Sports and Social Club.
Spring/Summer 2012 training
The Easton Cowgirls women's football team, Bristol 2011
Easton Cowgirls football training moves outdoors for Summer from 18th April 2012. Sessions run every Wednesday from 7pm at Eastville Park on the top pitch (in between the path and the kids play park). You can view the park on Google maps for directions.
We also play games on the first Sunday of each month on the pitch behind Easton Community Centre from 10.45am to noon.
The team welcomes women who have never played before. We also hope to encourage women who have stopped playing football to return to the game.
Wednesday sessions are open to all women over 18 ~ £3 pounds / £2 pounds low/unwaged. No-one turned away due to lack of funds. For more information call 07905 774849, email eastoncowgirls@gmail.com or check out Cowgirls on facebook.
Cowgirls winning the anti-racist world cup
We’re not just a football team!
As well as playing football, we also have as much fun as possible and are part of a wider network of clubs who recognise all people’s right to equality, irrespective of their age, class, culture, disability, gender, race, religion, or sexuality. We regulary play in football tournaments in the UK and abroad and even organise our own. If this sounds like something you fancy trying out, please join us for a training session to find out more.
For more about the club and our ethos read our welcome leaflet (pdf).
