Cray Ladies, having been promoted after winning the South East Counties Womens Football League Division One East title, will this season play at step 6 for the first time, in the London & South East Regional Women's League Division One South. The league season get's underway on Sunday 21st August with a trip to play Stenning Town which can be found approximately 7 miles outside of Worthing.

Cray Ladies face a tough task ahead of them, playing at a higher level and coping with the extra travelling demands but they are looking forward to the different challenges that this season will undoubtedly bring.

Pre-season is underway and we welcome some new faces to add to some more familiar ones in the squad. Welcome Okasia, Chloe, Hannah, Terri, Olivia and Danielle who are all new to the club, we wish them well.
