May 1 marked a special day in the history of Liverpool Feds Women’s Football Club.
A self-funded side founded in 1991, the Feds secured promotion to the third tier of the Women’s pyramid (National League Premier Division) after an outstanding run which saw the side lose only one of their 22 league fixtures in the 2021/22 season. The team, which is made up of part-time players, also reached the semi-final of the League Cup and the first-round proper of the FA Cup.
Beating off competition from Newcastle United Women to clinch top spot, the disappointment of past campaigns curtailed due to Covid and agonisingly missing out on moving up a level on more than one occasion in years gone by has been overcome in some style.
