Chesterfield Ladies F.C. were formed in January
1991 as Sharley Park Spireites, with an aim to encourage girls and women
of all ages and abilities to play football. Over 40 players attended the first
session in ages ranging from 7 up to 32.
Coaching to the junior players was provided by the co - founders of the Club,
Jane Ebbage and Les Wilde, whilst Adie Shaw the football in the Community
officer at Chesterfield F.C
worked with the senior players.
A number of girls who attended the first session were hooked and joined the
Club. The picture on the right was taken three weeks into the programme and
includes, Becky Wilde, Susanna Murdock, Sarah Wooliscroft, Suzy Lewis, Lorraine
Clayton, Sharon Collins and Nicky Geenfield. All players who had quite an
influence on the Club in one way or another.
By February Sharley Park Ladies were in a position to play their first ever
matches. A junior game - nominally Under 14's - was arranged with Derby County,
and a senior game with Barnsley. - We won them both.
