CLUB HISTORY

Coseley Town Ladies were formerly known as Sedgley White Lions Ladies.

Sedgley White Lions were formed at the start of the 01/02 season, and

became part of an already established club. After two seasons with

Sedgley White Lions, the team made a decision to leave Sedgley and

became part of the new club, Coseley Town. Throughout the first three

seasons our form has remained fairly consistent, and although we always

have good players we struggle to find the right formula on the pitch,

finishing all three seasons in the lower half of the division. However,

events on the pitch always seem to be overshadowed by events off it.

With a steady succession of management team, trainers, players, it is

only recently that we feel we have found the right combination so that

the team can be run as it should be, enabling us to move forward.

Right from day one there has been one figure that has guided us and provided

unceasing support. Dave Ferguson helped to set up the team when it first began

and has watched over us ever since. He helped with training, took us to matches,

was linesman, ref, but usually not all at once, shouted at us at half time when we

needed it, and provided a wealth of advise to all of the management team.

Sadly Dave Ferguson lost his battle with cancer recently and although there are

not many players that have been with this team since the start, we all feel aterrible

sense of loss. We have lost someone who contributed so much to our team but

we have also lost a friend. Dave Ferguson will never be forgotten and will always

be sadly missed. We hope to go on, be the team that he constantly encouraged

us to be and make him proud of us.
