Team looking for new manager

A new Black Country women’s football team is looking for a manager after their former boss left at the start of this season.

Susan Albrighton, treasurer and media secretary for Tipton Ladies, says the team, which is currently fourth in the Birmingham County Women’s League Division Two, is in need of some expertise.

Susan, aged 30, said: “The team was set up after we saw an advertisement in the Express & Star looking for players. However, for personal reasons our manager had to leave us after just a few weeks, so we decided to run the team ourselves.

“One of the player’s brothers has stepped in as coach and Faye, the team captain, is chairman.”

The club has been given a new kit by Shane and Sue Bastock of Concord Market based in Brierley Hill and Sedgley, after struggling to get sponsorship initially.

Any new players who are interested in joining the team will need to be over 16. Training sessions are held at Jubilee Park, Powis Avenue, Tipton, on Tuesday nights between 7 and 8pm.
