DJH Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hi all, Introducing Redruth United's first senior ladies football team for the upcoming 2022/23 season. We're very excited to finally get this going, after a few difficult seasons with our facilities at Clijah. Welcoming players to attend our open sessions. Looking forward to welcoming ladies football to Clijah Croft! Gary Hocking and Thecupfootballblogger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of two other people that help run female teams in the count and they also said their players had received smss from Redruth. Whilst I personally am a fan of all football I don't like to see clubs downfall come at the cost of another clubs achievements If that makes sense. I should probly say that this is all word of mouth from the club's as I don't know anybof the ladies personally toask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating and I hope that the ladies don't copy the men's game in other areas as well. But - why bring this poaching subject up at all, just when the ladies game is beginning to get on it feet ? Because I know that poaching from other ladies teams is happening here. It does happen in mens football and this is why mens football is in such a state. Let’s hope the ladies sides don’t start this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 There's a shortage of ladies as well as in the mens game. The cash on offer generally dictates where the men and ladies end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishteddyboy Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Let us hope with this new team is given time to settle down. Years ago the ladies set up, country-wide was well established with good strong sides, and then it exploded with clubs being set up here, there and everywhere Overall this weakened the game and because there were not enough players around, clubs folded, players were pinched, money crept into it, etc This didn't help at all and ruined it and for several seasons the ladies game suffered. Thankfully in the last two to three season, only one or two clubs are forming and they are slowly taking up the "slack" due to new players taking up the game again. We can point to men's Vets football suffering the same fate with long established clubs like Vintage Brew, etc folding as their game went to big too quick and became unsustainable. Sunday football the same. The players are out there but we need to rebuild slowly. Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really Teddyboy, the interest in football, and most local participant sports is in decline and wont be turning around anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberArmy Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Great to see any additional new team on board if it increases the number of functioning teams in Cornwall. However (and not specifically directed at Redruth but more general), my concern when a club currently has no female provision of its own, is what are they bringing to the table? Why do they want to form a women’s team? Is it just a box-ticking exercise to get them a better FA accreditation? Under the old “grow the game” system then of course there were financial incentives. So with no female provision already or pathway from youth football, unless a club has a pool of players itching to start playing, starting a new team from scratch runs the risk of being at the detriment of another club just up the road. I wish Redruth well, but I do hope this isn’t at the expense of other clubs. rvt and TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
