| Early in 1997
a small number of girls begun training with the AFC Luton Under
10 boys squads. Word soon spread and in no time the first Belles
squad had begun to form. Open girls training sessions were held
in May 1997, and the vast majority of what was our Under 15
squad during the 2000/01 season were already together. The skill
level and dedication was inspirational and there for all to
see even at that early stage. A team was entered into the now
defunct Bedfordshire Girls League for the 1997/98 season. The
league was small in size but by seasons end the girls were Under
12 and Under 14 League Champions as well as League Cup Winners.
The highlight and climax to that first season was the Under
12 League Cup Final which saw The Belles come from behind to
beat Markyate 6-2 after extra time. Just prior to the end of
that season The Belles won their first ever trophy when they
picked up the Kempston "Fives" Under 12 trophy. |
