💙⚽️ FEV FINALLY ON THE BOARD! ⚽️🤍
📍 St Wilfrid’s 🆚 Featherstone Rovers Ladies vs Brodsworth ⏱️ 4pm KO | 25 minutes each way HT: Fev 1-0 Brodsworth FT: Fev 1-1 Brodsworth

THE POINTS ARE ON THE BOARD, LASSES ! 🙌💙🤍
Fev finally got their first points of the season with a fantastic team performance against Brodsworth! Of course, when we went 1-0 up, we were dreaming of all THREE points, but we’re absolutely delighted to get a well-earned point after an excellent shift from every single player. 💪🏼
This was a brilliant game of football from both sides, played in exactly the spirit this league is all about. Competitive, committed and respectful football from start to finish. 👏🏼⚽️
💙 FIRST HALF FEVER! 🤍
Fev started brilliantly, playing some lovely football and showing exactly what they’re capable of! Coach Lucy was absolutely delighted… because it seems the lasses might have ACTUALLY LISTENED TO HER! 😂🙌
Playing out from the back? ✅ Holding our shape? ✅ (YES, LUCY, WE KNOW IT’S A TRIANGLE! 🔺😂) Communicating? ✅ Passing the ball on the floor? ✅ (Ground passes only, ladies — we’re a football team, not an airline! ✈️😂)
Every player did their bit, worked hard for each other and stuck to the plan. And guess what? THE HARD WORK PAID OFF! 💙
The opening goal was an absolute beauty! A fabulous goal kick from Claire O’Keefe found striker Katie Birkenhead, whose control was second to none before she drilled a superb strike into the bottom corner! 💥⚽️💪🏼

Fev went into half-time 1-0 up. 💙🤍

⚽️ SECOND HALF – A PROPER BATTLE!
Both teams dug deep in the second half, with Brodsworth continuing to push and their persistence eventually paying off. Their striker produced an absolute PEACH from outside the box, sending it flying into the back of the net! 🚀👏🏼
A cracking goal, fair play!
Fev had chances to nick all three points, but it just wasn’t meant to be. After a hard-fought contest, the spoils were shared and Fev finally had those first points of the season on the board! 🙌💙🤍

🏆 PLAYER AWARDS 🏆
🌟 PLAYERS’ PLAYER – JADE SPENCER 🌟
Our right-back was an absolute machine today! Jade worked tirelessly in defence, stood strong throughout and gave everything for the team. She was even spotted making a Lucy Bronze-style drive forward from the back! 😍💨
Defending like a wall, attacking like she’s got somewhere important to be! 😂👏🏼 Thoroughly deserved, Jade! 💙

🌟 COACHES’ PLAYER – SHARED BY JESS NEALE & KERRIE HOWARTH 🌟
Two absolutely brilliant performances from our central midfielder and left-back, both putting in arguably their best performances of the season so far! 💪🏼
💙 Jess Neale – Held her central midfield position brilliantly, battling in both attack and defence. Her distribution was spot on, and her work on and off the ball was exactly what we needed. The engine room was well and truly running today! 🔥
🤍 Kerrie Howarth – Solid as a rock at left-back, supporting the midfield and showing just how important it is to play backwards to go forwards! Her headers were absolutely ON FIRE today, too! 🧱💥 Brodsworth were certainly getting no freebies down that side!
Massive well done to both of you! 👏🏼💙🤍

💩 TURD OF THE TURF – CLAIRE O’KEEFE & LAURA STEPHENS MURRAY 💩
Oh ladies… where do we even start?! 😂😂
🧤 Claire O’Keefe – Delivered a cracking goal kick for our opener, but somehow forgot the money to pay the referee! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Cue the entire team having to rummage through their pockets and cobble together his dosh like we were running a last-minute whip-round at the pub! 🍻💰
A brilliant assist, Claire, but next time please remember the ref’s wages! We can’t be running a football club on loose change and good vibes alone! 😂👏🏼
🛫 Laura Stephens Murray – Our centre-back arrived ready for battle… only to discover at KICK-OFF that she hadn’t actually put her playing shirt on! 😭😂
Now, in Laura’s defence, she had been on a 2am flight from Portugal to make sure she got back for the game. So we’ll give her a little bit of credit for commitment… but honestly, Laura, the shirt is generally considered an essential part of the kit! 🤣✈️👕
One forgot the ref’s money, the other forgot her shirt. Between them, they nearly managed to organise a match with no wages and no uniform! Absolute scenes! 💀😂
Both thoroughly deserving of this prestigious award. Never change, ladies! 💩🏆

💙 SPECIAL MENTION – JENNY BIRDSALL 🤍
A huge shout-out to Jenny Birdsall, who has re-signed for Fev and did herself proud out on the wing today! 👏🏼💙
That match fitness will come, Jen — keep putting the work in! It’s absolutely brilliant to have you back in the fold, and we’re delighted to have you with us again! 🫶🏼⚽️

💙 A TEAM PERFORMANCE TO BE PROUD OF 🤍
Every single player today should be PROUD AS PUNCH! 👏🏼
Commitment was 110% from every Fev player. The work rate, determination, teamwork and willingness to fight for each other were there for everyone to see. We’re building something, and performances like this show exactly what we’re capable of when we stick together! 💪🏼

We went looking for three points, but we’ll happily take one, build on it and keep pushing forward. The first points are on the board — now let’s go and get some more! 🚀💙🤍

📅 NEXT GAME: 8TH NOVEMBER vs WEST END TERRIERS
No game for the Fev lasses until then, but don’t think that means putting our feet up! The hard work continues on the training ground as we keep improving, keep learning and keep building momentum. ⚽️🔥
A massive well done to everyone involved today, and thank you to Brodsworth for a great game played in the right spirit. 👏🏼💙
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, FEV!💙⚽️🤍 UptheFAF

💙⚽️🤍 MATCH DAY | FEATHERSTONE ROVERS LADIES 0–4 DUNSCROFT 🤍⚽️💙
4pm KO | St Wilfrids

It wasn’t to be today for Fev as we went down 0–4 to a well-drilled Dunscroft side, who took the spoils at St Wilfrids.

Fev are still waiting to get off the mark this season, but if there’s one thing this team has shown time and time again, it’s RESILIENCE. Every single player gave absolutely everything today, and there are plenty of positives to take from the performance. 💙

The opening 15 minutes were a real battle, with the game going end to end and both sides showing some great attacking and defensive play. Both teams were working hard and creating opportunities.

Then Dunscroft broke the deadlock.
With just five minutes left of the first half, Fev looked set to go into the break only 0–1 down. Unfortunately, those final few minutes saw an onslaught from Dunscroft, including a penalty, and three further goals found the back of the Fev net.
Half Time: Fev 0–4 Dunscroft

Now, this is where you find out what a team is made of.

Where some teams might have dropped their heads after conceding four before half time, NOT FEV. 💪
The message was simple: this is a fresh half.

And that’s exactly how the girls approached it.

They worked their socks off from the first whistle of the second half right through to the final whistle. The goal just wouldn’t come, but neither did another Dunscroft goal. A clean sheet in the second half and a proper shift put in by every single player. 👏

And let’s not forget, Fev dug in today with multiple players battling through injury and illness — but they still showed up and gave everything for the team. Absolute troopers. 🫡💙
That takes nothing away from Dunscroft, who played some lovely football and thoroughly earned their win. We wish them all the very best for the rest of the season. 👏⚽️

⭐ PLAYERS' PLAYER & COACHES' PLAYER OF THE MATCH ⭐
Today’s awards went to our winger Tonisha Shirafkan (T)! 💙
And what a performance from T.
One of the best displays we’ve seen in a Fev shirt, T was relentless from start to finish. Full of energy, determination and attacking intent, she never stopped working. She battled for every ball, put in the hard yards and showed exactly what it means to wear that Fev shirt.
A thoroughly deserved double award. 👏👏
Take a bow, T! 💙⚽️

🏆 TURD OF THE TURF 🏆
And now for the important business...
SARAH LARRINGTON. 😂
Sarah, a former winner of the Players' Player award, somehow managed to break the trophy.
But fear not — Sarah did what any responsible trophy custodian would do...
She expertly super-glued it back together. 😂👏
The thing is, absolutely NO ONE would have noticed.
It was fixed.
It was back where it belonged.
Case closed...UNTIL SARAH COUGHED TO THE COACH. 🤦‍♀️😂
Sarah. We didn't ask. You literally could have got away with it. 😂
Turd of the Turf: Sarah Larrington — for crimes against silverware. 🏆💩😂

💙 THE POSITIVES
There were lots to take from today.
The biggest one? How this team played for each other.
They dug in. They battled. They supported one another. They kept going when the scoreline could easily have knocked the stuffing out of them.

The points ARE coming.
We are not deterred.
We are not giving up.
And we are certainly not hanging our heads.
We go again. 💙

Fev have a well-earned rest next weekend before we take on Brodsworth on 18th October — and we absolutely cannot wait! 🔥⚽️

No game this weekend for the ladies 😔
We had a fab (very small) training session last night though.......when a HITT session includes the worm, we won't expose you to that (attempted) effort. We did have a gorgeous sunset and a rainbow, which we took advantage of 🌈

Roll on next weekend 💪

💙⚽️🤍 MATCH DAY | FEATHERSTONE ROVERS LADIES 2–3 SCOT FC 🤍⚽️💙
📍 St Wilfrid’s ⏰ 5pm KO ⏱️ 2 x 25 minutes

Another fantastic game of football for the Fev Ladies — and another match packed with great football, effort and plenty of drama!

HALF TIME: FEATHERSTONE ROVERS LADIES 2–1 SCOT FC
From the first whistle, Fev were playing football straight from the training ground, putting together some lovely passages of play and creating chance after chance.
The opening goal came from a perfectly timed pass from central midfielder Shell Harris, which was met brilliantly by striker Katie Birkenhead, who calmly slotted the ball home to score her first goal of this year’s campaign! 🎯⚽️
Fev continued to work hard and created plenty of opportunities, hitting the post on numerous occasions and forcing the Scot FC goalkeeper into save after save to keep her side in the game.
A lapse in concentration allowed Scot FC to find the equaliser, making it 1–1.
But Fev weren't finished!
Before the break, Fev were awarded a free kick just outside the box. Up stepped Katie Birkenhead…
And WOW! 😱🔥
WHAT. A. SHOT. WHAT. A. GOAL!
Katie found the back of the net in style and Fev went into half time 2–1 up! 💙

The second half was every bit as entertaining, with both teams playing some fantastic football. It was end-to-end stuff once again, with chances flying in at both ends.
Scot FC eventually found the equaliser and it was game on!
Fev battled hard, continued to create chances, hit the post AGAIN 😩 and once again saw the Scot FC keeper pull off some excellent saves.
Unfortunately, the points then slipped from Fev’s grasp as Scot FC found their third goal.

FULL TIME: FEATHERSTONE ROVERS LADIES 2–3 SCOT FC
Of course, the girls were disappointed not to come away with the points, but there is absolutely no shame in that performance.
Heads held high. Shoulders back. 💙
We move forward with pride because that was another cracking team performance from the Fev Ladies! 👏⚽️

🏆 PLAYER AWARDS
It was a tough call today with everyone working their socks off and putting in a brilliant team effort — but the awards go to…

🌟 PLAYERS’ PLAYER OF THE GAME — SARAH LARRINGTON
Sarah gave 110% on the wing, working tirelessly in both attack and defence. She really got stuck in, battled for every ball and put in a fantastic performance. 💪🔥

🌟 COACHES’ PLAYER OF THE GAME — KATIE BIRKENHEAD
Two amazing goals today, but Katie’s contribution was about much more than finding the net. Her distribution, movement on and off the ball and overall work rate were absolutely second to none. A fantastic performance from our striker! ⚽️⚽️👏

😂 CONE OF SHAME — SARAH LARRINGTON
Because apparently being Players’ Player wasn't enough…
Sarah somehow managed to land on her own hand 🤦‍♀️😂
An ice pack was required — and yes, she went home with the ice pack AND her trophy!
You genuinely couldn't make it up. 😂🏆🧊

A huge well done to both teams for another brilliant game of football. 👏
Fev have a week off next weekend before we're back in action on 4th October, when we take on Dunscroft.

The league table might not have any points on the board just yet, but what a cracking start to the season from this group.
The football is coming together, the effort is there, the team spirit is strong and there's plenty more to come! 💙🤍
UP THE FAF! 💙⚽️🤍

💙⚽️🤍 FEATHERSTONE ROVERS LADIES | MATCH REPORT 🤍⚽️💙
Featherstone Rovers Ladies 2–3 Methley United Ladies Mavericks
📍 St Wilfrid’s ⏰ 4pm KO ⏱️ 25 minutes each way 🏆 Fev Rovers Ladies – 2026/2027 Season Opener

WHAT. A. GAME. 🔥
What a fantastic game to kick off the Fev Rovers Ladies 2026/2027 season!

In a thrilling, end-to-end contest against Methley United Ladies Mavericks, Fev may not have left with the points, but they certainly left with pride after every single player gave absolutely everything on that pitch! 💙

The first half saw some lovely football from both sides, with strong defensive work matched by some excellent attacking play.
Fev broke the deadlock with a perfectly placed throw-in from Kaye Karim, which was met brilliantly by our captain Lindsay Bradshaw. Lindsay struck it beautifully and sent the ball sailing into the top corner! 🚀⚽️
Methley had chances of their own, but Fev dug deep and held firm to take a deserved 1–0 lead into half time.

SECOND HALF DRAMA! 😮‍💨🔥
The second half started exactly as the first had finished — end-to-end stuff!
Fev worked the ball into the Methley box, and a lovely pass from Katie Birkenhead found Jess Neale, who produced an absolute peach of a shot to double Fev’s lead! 🎯⚽️
2–0 Fev! 💙
Credit to Methley, who continued to battle and dig in, and their persistence paid off when a long-range effort found the back of the net.
Then came the penalty drama…
A penalty was awarded to Methley following a goal-line clearance involving a handball from a Fev player who definitely wasn't the keeper! 😬😂
Methley stepped up and struck the bar, but the referee called for the penalty to be retaken after deciding our keeper had moved off her line.
We respect the decision… but where’s VAR when you need it?! 😂📺
Ball placed again. This time, Methley made no mistake and converted to bring the score level at 2–2.
Both teams continued to press, create chances and battle for the winner.
Then, with just three minutes to go, Methley took advantage of a goalmouth scramble to make it 2–3 and sn**ch the points. 💔
A tough one to take, but what a performance from Fev.

🏆 PLAYERS' PLAYER AWARD
This week’s award was shared between two very deserving players:
⭐ Captain Lindsay Bradshaw — putting some serious miles in from her central midfield position, leading by example and, of course, getting herself on the scoresheet!
⭐ Kaye Karim — starting the game out of position on the wing, delivering the assist for the captain’s goal, before moving back into her usual defensive role in the second half. Talk about doing a job for the team! 👏

🏆 COACHES' PLAYER
Becky Wark 💪
A rock-solid performance at centre-back. Becky was strong at the back, made some crucial tackles and her distribution from defence was top notch. A brilliant performance.

🥔 TURD OF THE TURF
And now for the prestigious award nobody wants but somebody has to win…
😂 TURD OF THE TURF: TONISHA “T” SHIRAFKAN 😂
And T didn't even need to wait until kick-off to earn it!
In the team group chat, someone mentioned that when one of our players' kitchen is remodelled, T at her house.
Now, for those outside Yorkshire, “tea” = evening meal. ☕️🍽️
But T, bless her, wanted clarification…
“Is this the right T?” 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly T… we’re not sure what other T you thought we meant! 😂
🏆 Turd of the Turf before a ball had even been kicked. Outstanding work.

💙 A MESSAGE FROM COACH LUCY

Coach Lucy is absolutely brimming with pride at the team’s performance today.
What a foundation we have laid for this year’s campaign!
We didn’t walk away with the points, but not one member of this team was disheartened. Every single player gave 110%, battled until the final whistle and showed exactly what this team is all about.
Sometimes the result alone doesn’t tell the story.
Today, the scoreline says 2–3.
We say PRIDE. 💙
A huge well done to every player who represented Fev Rovers today — you did yourselves, your teammates and the badge proud. 👏👏👏 UptheFAF 💙⚽️🤍.

Next week Fev take on Scot FC and we cannot wait 💙⚽️🤍

Friendly: Featherstone Rovers Ladies against West End Terriers

1st half saw an effort on goal from Bex, from half way, another from Laura who pushed forward from D and Jess who had an on target effort in top right corner. The 1st goal came from Katie after Ellie chased a ball upfront and crossed one into Katie for a smack into the net! Just before half time too! 1-0
2nd half saw 2 assists from our very own Claire in net! Katie had a mega shot low and hard which slammed into the back of the net 2-0
Then the last goal came from our Shell… Claire’s 2nd assist was a pass to shell who took it forward and hammered a shot in…
The opposition had a good bit of time working our defence but we worked the ball well as a team and got the result!
Well done FAF’s ⚽️💙💪🏼
