Our women and girls' football celebration event attracted more than 120 players on Saturday. Eagles have built one of the largest female sections in the county in just 3 years, but further growth is impossible without new facilities.

A special guest brought some sparkle to an otherwise rather rainy Saturday morning training session at Langton Girls, as our Wildcats and girls’ teams as the actual Women’s Super League trophy paid us a visit!

A day to celebrate for our men's team, who won the Herne Bay & Whitstable League’s Junior Charity Cup on Sunday against City Lions at Whitstable Town FC.

Last Sunday our u13 Girls sealed a fantastic season with a 5-1 away win at Park Farm Sapphires, securing the Kent Girls & Ladies Division 4 East title in the process. Check out the epic photo gallery here!

A chance for our girls’ teams, and any other female footballers who would like to join us, to support England's Lionesses in their first Women's World Cup match against Haiti. We’ll follow this with a fun training session with the Eagles coaching team.

We’re still recruiting for our brand-new women’s team. With regular training every Tuesday evening this summer, it’s easy for potential new players to join up with the squad.

Another successful presentation evening was completed on Saturday May 20th, with a record attendance enjoying a fill-filled celebration of all our players achievements this season.

Over the last year eight of our youth players have completed the FA’s Referee Course, and qualified as accredited FA referees.
