Formation and early years[edit]

The current HRBLFC team were formed over 12 years ago at U12 level at Chessington & Hook FC. After a number of years there, the team moved to Tooting & Mitcham FC and had success in the many years there. In 2006, after winning the treble at T&M, the team moved to Hampton & Richmond Borough FC to become the U18 side under the former Women’s Team. After a season at U18 level, the team moved into the Women’s side. In 2017, the Ladies Development side was formed.

Club officials[edit]

The First team is now managed by Kat Browne and Josh Goldingay. The development side is managed by Jamie Kiernan and Jaymie Bailey. All coaches have a lot of experience behind them and are driving the club forward to continually grow the women's game at Hampton.

Leagues and status[edit]

After a number of successful years, the Ladies team have been bouncing around in Step 5 of the Women’s Football pyramid with some promotions and some forced demotions due to a change in league structure. In the 2018/19 season, the First team came third in Division One of the Greater London Women's League and the Development team came seventh in Division Three South of the Greater London Women's League.
