Today is our second home league game of the season and the first, against Oxford United last weekend, was a classic case of a game of two Oxfordhalves.finished second last season and they are a good side but, from our perspective, we were slow to get going in the game, didn’t really win our individual battles and looked a bit wary of WeOxford.askedfor a reaction at half-time and the girls put on a really positive display. We competed against a strong side and showed some character and resilience. A warm welcome to the Manadon Sports Hub for today’s game against London Bees.

Midweek at Bridgwater was disappointing but we were quickly looking ahead to the London Bees. We played them in our penultimate game last season and got a good point on that day. Our job is to enter today’s game with the confidence that we can secure three points. We have players back involved in the squad after missing midweek and today is all about points on the board. We are delighted to welcome the London Bees staff, players and supporters to the Manadon Hub today. Enjoy the game, Ryan
THE OPPOSITION
There are many ancestral spirits behind the London Bees, but its earliest roots date back to a group of ladies working at Transport for London’s District Line. In the 1970s the women, looking for a team to play football, banded together and entered the Hounslow & District League –forming the platform for a remarkable rise. Named in honour of their workplace, District Line Ladies FC appeared in leagues across Greater London before tasting promotion to the Women’s FA National League Southern Division in the early 1990s. It did not take long afterwards before the squad merged with Wembley FC – becoming Wembley Ladies FC and reaching their zenith in an FA Cup final defeat to Millwall Lionesses in 1997. Meanwhile Barnet Ladies FC, established by Barnet director Graham Slyper in the mid-80s, had become officially affiliated with the men’s club. It prompted another merger in 1998 after Wembley’s FA Cup finalists began to leave the club, including teenager and eventual England legend Kelly BarnetSmith.FCLadies have been a virtual mainstay in English football’s top tier ever since before London Bees, a brand new franchise, was welcomed into the Women’s Super League fold for 2014. London Bees first ever fixture in WSL2 resulted in a 3-0 victory over Oxford United Ladies, with 16-year old Lucy Loomes scoring their first ever goal. In 2016, the Bees experienced their best season to date, taking home a record points haul for the season as well as a historic run to the semifinals of the Continental Cup, knocking out Chelsea en route. The 2017 Spring Series saw the Bees get off to a great start and top the league in the early stages. A move to a winter season has seen changes both on and off the pitch.
