Meet Queens Park Ladies, 'Invincible' Under-11 UK Girls Football Team

An under-11 girls football team in the UK has won the title of 'invincibles' after an unbeaten streak of wins, the latest one being at a boys' league. The Queens Park Ladies finished top of division three of the Bournemouth Youth Football League with 18 wins, four draws and no defeats. The Guardian reported that the team scored 61 goals across the league, conceding only 11. The girls amassed 58 points, a whopping 16 more than the team that came second.

Queens Park Ladies Rule Boy-Dominated League

The Under-12 girls team made history when they secured a win at the boy-dominated Bournemouth Youth Football League. Earlier, the Queens Park Ladies had defeated Moordown and Southbourne boys' teams to top the league.

On May 5, the team defeated Lymington Town boys 3-0, securing the 'invincibles' title. Team manager Toby Green said that securing a win against a team that had won six games in a row was the highlight of the season.

The Guardian reported that the team was initially met with resistance for playing against the 11 boys' teams. The football association officials insisted that the girls play in 'all girls' championships'.

However, Green insisted on letting the girls showcase their prowess in a league where gender does not define skill. He told Sky News that the immensely dedicated girls deserved the shining win.

"The girls have done really, really well. They’ve worked so hard all season, not just in the games, but in their training as well. They have been disciplined ... they deserve it," he told the outlet.

About The Team

Toby Green started the team Queens Park Ladies when his little girl Olivia started showing interest in football. He had already coached his older daughter as the only girl in a boys’ team and decided to put together a girls’ side.

However, Green insisted on letting the girls play in a boys' league. Queens Park Ladies under-12s train twice a week and will now be promoted to the under-13s second division.

Four of the girls in the 14-player squad have been playing together since they were five years old. Green said he hopes the Queens Park Ladies’ success will inspire more young girls to take up football.
