That is real progress.
I wonder how much of a financial commitment it is from the club? I doubt the sponsors on listed under the club report are making much of a contribution.
Part time salaries for the whole Womens' first team squad may not be that much, but it puts Cardiff in a different position from most other sides in Wales. Wrexham gave part-time contracts to 10 of their Womens' team on Monday - but I think that is it for the Welsh league.
Are Cardiff City Ladies (semi) professional. If not the change announced today might make the Women a more attractive proposition than the Ladies - even with where the two sides play.
An interesting development, should help bring about an improvement in European competition for City and should give the players a better chance of a lucrative move to a bigger club.
There’s a Cardiff City Ladies and a Cardiff City Women???Quote:

Best rephrase your response perhaps :-)Quote:

Cardiff City Women are part of Cardiff City FC. They play in the Welsh league system (Adran Premier). Current league champions, FAW Women's Cup holders and playing in the Women's Champions League next season

Why is that, perhaps you can explain?Quote:

And I just read Jess Fishlock came through there?! Will the next Fishlock come through Ladies or Women you think? Who wins in a match?
I'll be following that Champion's League run for sure. I'm guessing that will be a truer test for the Women than the league was last season.
If I had time machine (or an edit button) I would change that "and" to "AND".Quote:

They've also been drawn against Lithuanian champions FC Gintra in Champions League qualifying, with the winner playing the winner of Glasgow City and Shelbourne.
Great news and good luck to the girls out in Lithuania.
I suspect it will be some seasons before they are able to compete at Eurpean level though. Hopefully will eventually have better luck than the current men's Welsh league teams have.
Wonder where this leaves the longer established Cardiff womens team though?
Personally I am not remotely interested in women’s football and would rather not see it featured on this board.

In other news, can’t the team just be called Cardiff City? Let the other team sort themselves out.

Lily Bellingham has followed Phoebe Poole to Cheltenham Ladies (3rd tier of the English women's football pyramid).
They both seem to regard the move as a major step up from the top of the 1st tier of the Welsh women's pyramid (squat pyramid!)
Four new players recently signed, but a bit of a re-build going on (again) with the women's team, and a lot of goals to replace:
