Epworth Forest Junior Football Club

A huge thank you to Narborough Foxes for hosting our Under 10 Tigereses girls today. It was a fantastic morning of football.

The girls put in another brilliant team performance, showing great effort, determination, and teamwork throughout the game. It's fantastic to see their confidence and development continue to grow every week.

A special congratulations goes to Sia, who was voted Parents' Player of the Match. 🏆👏

Well done to all of the girls for another great game of football! ⚽💙

Tournament Champions 🎉🏆💜

What a day for our Epworth girls.

They headed over to Rugby Borough for their penultimate tournament of the season, placed in Group 2 against strong Warwickshire opposition. Our message was simple: pass with purpose, have fun, and do what you do best — and they delivered from the first whistle.

The girls flew out the blocks, playing fearless, fast football and dominating their group.

4 games. 4 wins. 12 scored. 0 conceded.
Top of the group and full of confidence.

Into the quarter‑final they faced a strong Coventry City side, but the girls were on fire — pressing, combining, and finishing clinically to secure a brilliant 4–0 win.

The semi‑final against NN Titans was a fantastic game of football, but again the Epworth girls rose to the occasion, battling for every ball and taking their chances to win 2–0 and book their place in the Champions League Final.

The final brought another unknown in Kenilworth Town Lionesses. It was tight, physical, and full of heart — but the girls dug deep, defended bravely, and found the breakthrough to win 1–0 and be crowned Champions League Winners.

This group continues to amaze us. Relentless, resilient, and playing football with real joy.

Proud is an understatement.

What a day at the Epworth 25/26 Presentation!

The day was filled with laughter, great music, delicious food, and plenty of celebrations.

A huge well done to all the coaches, players, parents, and volunteers who have played their part throughout the season. Your commitment, support, and hard work have helped make it another fantastic year for the club.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special. And a huge thank you to all our sponsors.

Here's to another successful season ahead!

ACES National Championship Runners-Up 🏆

A huge congratulations to our Tigresses, who battled their way to the ACES National Championship Final. After a hard-fought draw in the final, the match was decided by a penalty shootout, where the girls narrowly missed out on the top spot.

An incredible achievement to finish as National Championship Runners-Up. We are immensely proud of the players for their determination, teamwork, and resilience throughout the competition.

Well done, girls and coaches! 👏💜

✅ Dot — nerves of steel, tucked away beautifully.
❌ Gotheringham missed both of theirs…
WE’RE IN THE FINAL! 🎉🦁

🏅 Final vs AFC Chellaston
The team we lost to earlier in the day. We had a score to settle. 🔥

Despite going into the final with no rest after an unfortunate delayed schedule — unlike our opponents who played their semi final game prior to ours — the Lionesses were absolutely magnificent. Pressing, tacking, working hard, creating chances and never giving up. Then came the moment… a handball in the box. PENALTY. 🎯

Up stepped Miya. Nerves of steel. Bottom right corner. 1-0. 😤⚽
The girls then dug deep and held on superbly under pressure to see the game out and CLINCH THE TOURNAMENT! 🏆🦁

Super proud of every single one of these girls for their hard work, team spirit and brilliant football throughout the whole day. You absolutely deserved this! 🌟
🧤 Special mention to Alice — an absolutely rock solid performance in goal all day. Some crucial saves that kept us in it. Superstar! ⭐

Finally a massive thank you to Coalville Town for hosting a fantastic tournament the girls throughly enjoyed the day 🙌

⚽🦁🏆

🦁 What a day out for the U11 Lionesses at the East Goscote Tournament! 🏆 A massive thank you to East Goscote Utd for hosting such a brilliant event! ⚽
With games being played on 9v9 pitches but with the smaller 7v7 goals, every match was tight, competitive and full of heart — exactly the kind of football we love to see! 💪

The girls battled hard through the group stage — winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 1 to finish 3rd in the group. They grew with every single game and showed real character throughout. 🌟

Unfortunately our journey ended in the semi-finals with a narrow 1-0 defeat to a very strong Coalville Ravenettes side — but we couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of these girls! 👏❤️
