Coalville Town kick off the League Cup Final with a ball forward but the Leicester City Ladies defence cleared to midfield and Leicester had a shot which went just past the post. After some even play Coalville Town were awarded a free kick on the left from which Coalville scored on fifteen minutes. For the next period of the match both teams battling for midfield supremacy with Coalville Town making it hard for Leicester City Ladies but in the thirty second minute City equalized when a cross from the left was met by Niamh to score.
In the second half Leicester City Ladies started to play some their passing game and in the forty seventh minute went ahead through Simran. Leicester City Ladies made some substitutions at this point and started to move the ball around putting the Coalville Town defence under pressure with Niamh and Demi putting some great crosses into the Coalville Town box. Leicester City Ladies went further ahead in the sixty sixth minute a cross into the Coalville Town area Connie scored.

League Season Ends in Style

PressOfficer — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:45:17 +0000

Leicester City Ladies faced Barwell United in their final league game of the season and were looking to preserve their unbeaten record.
Leicester City Ladies couldn’t have wished for a better start to the game when striker Laura scored twice within the first seven minutes. Leicester City Ladies were playing some nice football and were soon 3-0 up when Lauren scored after ten minutes. Leicester City Ladies were firmly in control of the game and Barwell United were struggling to get out of their own half. Barwell United’s goalkeeper was on good form and made some really good saves to prevent them going further behind. After fiveteen minutes Jade scored Leicester City Ladies fourth of the game which was soon followed by a goal for Barwell United when their lively striker finished brilliantly into the far corner to make it 4-1. Just before half time Olivia deservedly got herself on the score sheet with a confident finish after a good Leicester City Ladies move.
Leicester City Ladies were slow to get started in the second half and Barwell United enjoyed a spell of possession and also created some chances on goal. Leicester City Ladies did finally get into their stride and on thirty minutes Jade increased their lead once more. This gave Leicester City Ladies some confidence and they continued to push forward and create numerous chances. Leicester City Ladies seventh goal came from Olivia who scored her 2nd goal of the game and soon after Molly made it 8-1 with a left foot finish at the far post. The last fiveteen minutes saw Leicester City Ladies goalkeeper Viv made a cameo appearance up front. In any other game she would have scored but Viv found the Barwell United goalkeeper in superb form and just couldn’t find a way past her! With 5 minutes to go Foxy scored Leicester City Ladies nonth and final goal after a mix up between defender and goalkeeper.
What a fantastic acheivement to finish the league season unbeaten, only dropping 2 points over 18 games, scoring 126 goals and only conceding 12….Well Done Girls!

Leicester City Ladies under 12s faced Oadby & Wigston United in their penultimate league game knowing that a draw would be good enough to wrap up the League Title.
The game started at a very high tempo with both teams looking to get off to a good start. Oadby & Wigston United were quickly into their stride, playing some good football and causing Leicester City Ladies problems. Leicester City Ladies failed to really get into the game and were lacklustre and struggling to string any passes together. Oadby & Wigston United created numerous chances and hit the bar and the post in a first half that they dominated. Leicester City Ladies had defenders Ciara and Shania to thank for keeping them in the game as they both produced some outstanding defending when Leicester were under pressure.
Half Time 0-0
After stern words at half time, Leicester City Ladies came out with a bit more quality but still failed to really get into the game. Oadby & Wigston United continued in the same vein with good passing and hard work to close Leicester City Ladies down and force mistakes. The game ebbed and flowed with neither team having many clear cut chances on goal. With ten minutes to go Oadby & Wigston United scored the first goal of the game which they thoroughly deserved. Leicester City Ladies knew that they had to dig into to get an equaliser and captain Lauren showed her quality a few minutes later with a determined run into the box and a great finish to make it 1-1. With five minutes to go the game was definitely in the balance and Oadby & Wigston United were clearly looking for a winner. They continued to push forward and kept Leicester City Ladies under pressure with numerous corners. Leicester City Ladies dug in and defended well to get the point they needed to make them CHAMPIONS!!
Full Time – LCLFC 1 Oadby and Wigston 1
Leicester City Ladies manager Annie Rudkin commented after the game “A below par performance from Leicester against an Oadby & Wigston side who produced a fantastic display and I’m sure they will be disappointed not to have won.”
She added “All in all a draw extends Leicester’s unbeaten league run and sees them deservedly crowned as League Champions. Well done girls, your quality,consistency and hard work over the season has paid off and you should all be very proud of your efforts!”

First Team Clinch Third

PressOfficer — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 22:47:27 +0000

Leicester City Ladies clinched third place in their final game of a truly memorable year. Going into the game city sat fifth with Leafield Athletic in fourth and Copeswood away to Loughborough Students. Leicester City Ladies needed to win and hope for a Students victory.
The day could not of gone better as City raced into a three goal lead, a lot of possession was with the away team but failure to break through was a worry until Hillier finished to take the lead. Bateman then hit twice once from a Clarke delivery and also finishing off a fine passing move between herself Scott and Kilby.
Second half Leafield Athlitic were a brighter and a missed penalty from Leicester City Ladies lifted their spirits and a cool near post finish earned Leafield a way back in. It turned out to be just a consolation however and with news coming through of Students victory over Copeswood it put Leicester City Ladies third in the final table.
Leicester City Ladies Player of the match – Katie Bateman
Overall it rounds off a fine season for Leicester City Ladies. Taking Leicester Women all the way to penalties in the County Cup, Third round FA cup and some remarkable performances home and away. But most of all a transformation of a team that finished third bottom 23 months ago and avoided dropping out of the league to now be third top is a great credit to staff and players over the past two years.
Leicester City Ladies manager Matt Cook commented “I’m just pleased for the players, they have came close to so many things this year and I believe that finishing 5th although a good year would of been harsh. However league tables don’t lie and it was down to them today to win and everyone was superb especially first half. And as I say league tables don’t lie and we are the third best team this year and I think that’s about right. Credit to Wolves who shown they are worthy of their position and hopefully we can learn over the summer and move forward as a whole football club.”

Leicester City Ladies faced Oadby & Wigston United in the League Cup Semi Final and came out convincing winners with a great team performance.
Leicester City Ladies started the game with all guns blazing and striker Jade gave them the perfect start when she finished brilliantly after only three minutes. Leicester City Ladies kept the pressure on Oadby & Wigston United and a few minutes later captain Lauren doubled Leicester’s lead with a mazy run and a great finish. By this point Leicester City Ladies were in control of the game and playing some great football. The defence of Ciara and Shania were solid, as was goalkeeper Viv and they thwarted any attacks that Oadby & Wigston United had.
Leicester City Ladies increased their lead to three soon after when they were awarded a penalty after a handball in the box. Striker Jade stepped up and confidently dispatched the penalty to make it 3-0. Leicester City Ladies continued to dominate the play and the Oadby & Wigston United goalkeeper kept her team in it making a string of important saves. Leicester City Ladies did score their fourth before half time when Lauren scored a header from close range.
Half Time – Oadby & Wigston United 0 Leicester City Ladies 4
Leicester City Ladies second half display was far less emphatic with Oadby & Wigston United coming into the game more. Despite this Leicester City Ladies did still create chances and could have increased their lead further. They had goalkeeper Viv to thank for keeping their clean sheet in tact after she pulled off a brilliant double save midway through the second half.
Full Time – Oadby & Wigston United 0 Leicester City Ladies 4
