MEET THE TEAM
This is the first ever season that Howden Clough has ever had an under 8’s girls team for which we are extremely proud. The U8’s play in the West Riding girl league for the 24/25 season. The team welcomes girls of all abilities and has a mixture of new starters and girls who play for the Howden Clough mixed teams.
The girls really enjoy the training sessions and learning the new skills the coaches teach them. They always try their best and are forming a nice team.
The coaches were really impressed with how quickly the girls have taken to football and the fun that they bring to training and matches.
