We're back (sort of) and focusing on the excellent AFC Wimbledon Ladies. Kevin Fosters' side have only lost once since the end of September 2021 so they've been steadily building momentum in the league and are still involved in two cup competitions at the time of writing...
D2B is back in the FA Women's National League with our second review of the AFC Wimbledon Ladies' D1SE campaign. August ended with the Dons sat in mid-table, so Kevin Foster's talented squad would need to raise their performance levels during September if they were realistically going to be able to fight their way back into the promotion race...
After two seasons of almost total nullification the FA Women’s National League kicked off again on the 15th August. That meant the AFC Wimbledon Ladies were back in action, and with lofty ambitions: to win the single promotion spot up for grabs in Division One South East. Former rivals Ipswich Town had been elevated one level (through FA restructure and an excellent competitive record) to the Southern Premier. So, this season the D1SE league title genuinely feels up for grabs for a good half-dozen clubs…
LIFE is not without a sense of humour for an occasional blog site like D2B. Last season women’s football was cut off in its prime by the Coronavirus and here we are in season 2020/21 preparing to take our first look at the AFC Wimbledon Ladies and the entire National League is shutting down again. Well, we weren’t deterred last season and we’re absolutely going to plough on again, giving you a breakdown of all that ‘Wombelles’ action to date…
CLEARLY some football teams are more equal than others. With the Women’s National League declared null and void all the way back in March, the FA decreed this week by virtue of a 'points per game' average that Chelsea be crowned WSL Champions and Aston Villa be promoted from the FA Women's Championship. As for the rest of the women's football pyramid? They get to start 2019 all over again...
WITH THE football authorities announcing that tiers three to seven of women's football have been rendered null and void in England I had a decision to make. Carry on with the AFC Wimbledon Ladies blog? Or abandon it? Well here's your answer. I've seen (and heard) far too much of my kids this week. At least I can hide in the kitchen while I write this...
D2B MANAGED TO convince FAWNL goalkeeper, Charlotte Ferguson, to give up some of her free-ish time, which is usually spent in the gym, to answer our questions… The very-soon-to-be 27-year old is currently at AFC Wimbledon and has become a supporters’ favourite with a series of great displays...
MELTDOWN AT WALSALL Ladies as virtually the entire first team is cleared out. A manager resigns; a letter is written; a match is postponed and an entire team of players are looking for a new club...
MATCHES have been coming thick and fast for the AFC Wimbledon ladies as Autumn heads into Winter. With cup matches filling up the schedule and inclement weather already putting paid to some fixtures, it’s been hectic for Kevin Foster and his squad – both on and off the pitch.
"Attack of the front four". We're back with the AFC Wimbledon Ladies. Now it’s battle stations with the Womble Alliance beginning their season at Ipswich, plus my first visit ever to an FA Women’s National League game, with Cambridge United the visitors to Colston Avenue…
