First FC United women's team game is seven-goal thriller

The first-ever game for FC United of Manchester women’s team saw our newly formed side share seven goals with Middleton Athletic Ladies as the home side just ran out 4-3 winners in a pre-season friendly.

Despite the result, there was much to be proud of as FC played a brand of attacking football that is sure to stand them in good stead as they embark on their first season in the Greater Manchester Women’s Football League in a couple of months time.

A crowd of around 180 turned up to watch the game in Middleton and being FC fans, spent much of the game singing noisily. If you weren’t at the game you can get a sample of the atmosphere by watching these excellent short films:
A report by FC United member Kay Phillips.
