Our under 13s Belles travelled to Leicester Nirvana on Sunday for what turned out to be an end to end battle and a really positive display from the Bozzy girls. As expected, Leicester got off to a strong start, but our girls did exactly what we asked of them at the start, playing with compactness, intensity out of possession, and being brave on the ball in transition. In the early stages we were pressed in our own half, but with some resolute defending we managed to hold out

A late morning kick off for the Belles against strong opposition. All the players were in buoyant mood particularly Ava as it was her birthday! Ava went into left back with Scarlet partnering Elcie in attack. The game started with both teams looking strong and committed. Elcie struck a shot wide then Monica nearly broke through. An opposition attack saw them flash a shot across the goal, but it was the Belles that got the opener. Oliwia's corner from the left went straight in

A great effort from the U11 Trailblazers away at ‘The Lamb’ today. It was always going to be a tough assignment against the Tamworth academy. We acquitted ourselves very well and dug in excellently, particularly in how well we defended our penalty box. Laurie and Florence were both very strong today, the latter with a brilliant tackle at the end. Isla was excellent too in her first league game, taking up some very good positions. Edie and Tahlia worked really hard in the midd

What a lovely morning for football, the sun was shining, the sky was blue and it almost felt like summer had made a surprise comeback. The pitch, however, had other ideas. While the weather was beautiful, the ground was still a little wet underneath and the grass was certainly enjoying its growing season. At times the ball looked like it needed a sat-nav and a lawnmower to help it find its way through. With Lexi away, the girls once again stepped up brilliantly and gave every

A really good team performance against strong opposition, with everyone contributing to a well-earned 1–1 draw. We went into the game with a clear plan: keep two strikers up at all times, get the ball forward quickly and then support from midfield and the wide areas. We wanted to be direct, and our equaliser came exactly from that approach, with Chloe G showing great strength and persistence to keep going and get the ball over the line under pressure. We also challenged the g

For the second week running, the girls faced Narborough Foxes, a very strong team who certainly know how to keep us on our toes. The challenge was accepted with smiles and determination. Starting at the back, we had Lola and Alice, who both put in brilliant performances. Alice, playing her very first match of the season with us, showed she's already a force to be reckoned with. Her strength in key defensive positions and her ability to drive the ball out from the back gave th

The first 25 minutes were some of the best football we’ve played on the ball, with excellent passing, movement and attacking intent. The goals came from good team play, with Katie finishing well from distance the right with a good ball out wide from Chloe G, then shortly after Chloe G worked hard to win the ball and unleash a powerful strike past the keeper. Unfortunately, conceding just before half time gave Burbage a lift going into the second half and seemed to knock our c

We faced a really tough and strong opposition who had years of experience behind them, but our girls never stopped fighting. Every single one of them worked incredibly hard, battled for every ball and most importantly, worked together as a team. Another brilliant day for the girls, full of effort, determination, teamwork and plenty of smiles. Starting the game were Lexi, Millie, Florence, Arabella and Erin. We think we may have found our dedicated goalkeeper in Lexi! She put

With no game last Sunday, the Belles welcomed Sporting Markfield to a sunny Ravenstone. The Belles were without Evie who is still injured and Iris who was unavailable. Unfortunately then illness struck for Eliza and Ava, which meant the Belles had a squad of 12 for the game. There was a league debut for Isla at left back, with Maisie on the left as Scarlett joined the attack with Elcie. The game started well for the Belles, a sharp turn from Elcie saw her strike wide. Then Ol

An early KO at Rugby Borough in the morning drizzle, against a team unbeaten in the league last season. We knew we were in for a tough game, but after a good performance last week, the Roses went into the game with confidence. The opening exchanges were fairly even, but Rugby were playing three behind the striker and began to cause us problems on the break. They took the lead midway through the first half, which seemed to kick the Roses back into life. Chloe G chased down a t

In just their second game of the season, the AFC Market Bosworth Belles showed fantastic progress, coming away with two well-earned goals and, more importantly, big smiles and a growing understanding of both football and teamwork. Starting in defence, Erin held the back line strong, battling brilliantly and making some important clearances to keep the opposition at bay. In midfield, Lola and Millie worked exceptionally well together, creating opportunities and supporting each

An away game for the U11 Trailblazers against FC Burbage Lionesses. Some great passing in the first half particularly, with a brilliant cross from Edie setting up Charlotte for the opening goal. We lost a bit of energy after half time but kudos to the girls who really dug in during the last quarter. Some great quick thinking from Tahlia for a nice goal in the last quarter. We defended well all game, we impressed with our strength and the midfield came back to help the defence

The Roses were well prepared for their first game of the season off the back of a good training session on the Wednesday before where every girl worked hard and showed good quality in practice. Missing from today’s squad was Lily, Mimi and Sophie in this league opener against a talented Coalville side. The game got underway and the Roses started well and looked a few times to play wide to Kiri who was looking to cut inside and play in Chloe G who was a real thorn in Coalville

How glad we were that the rain held off as the girls took to the pitch for their first match of the season. It was also their first experience of playing a full 40-minute game, and they rose brilliantly to the challenge, showing great effort, determination and teamwork throughout. U8 Belles First 5v5 Game At the back, the dynamic duo of Erin and Evelyn put in a fantastic defensive performance. They worked tirelessly together, making important tackles, clearing danger and help

Representatives from AFC Market Bosworth attended the Leicestershire & Rutland County FA Recognition Awards 2026 at the Athena in Leicester, and we’re still incredibly proud of what was a truly unforgettable evening. To be recognised as Club of the Year is an honour that means so much to everyone connected with our club. While the trophy may have been presented on the night, this award belongs to every volunteer, coach, player, parent, guardian and supporter who gives their t

On Sunday 21st June, we hosted our first tournament in which eight girls teams of similar experience or level were invited to take part. This was a bit of a test event for the club to trial the format and process at our venue in Newbold Verdon. Throughout the morning, we saw a relaxed but fun event for the girls with lots of enthusiasm and fantastic football. All coaches and parents supporting and cheering from the sideline, it was great to see the girls having a great time o

From first kicks to cup runs, league battles to lifelong friendships, every team has created memories to be proud of. Our Presentation Day is about more than just trophies; it’s about recognising the commitment, teamwork and passion shown by every player, coach, volunteer and supporter who makes our club so

The final game of the season with the Belles needing a win to finish a very respectable 4th place. The Belles were without the injured Evie and Lols, with Caitlin and Ava S also being away. However we still had a squad of 16 players, as vice captain Monica took the armband in Caitlin's absence. The Belles started on the front foot which saw them take an early lead. The pacey Oliwia drove out wide with the ball and sent a cross into Elcie, who stroked the ball into the corner.

Under the sunshine at Newbold and the Belles without a few players due to injuries and unavailability. We knew it was going to be a tough game, however we still had a strong squad of 12, with Starlah playing her first game for the Belles. A shuffle in the starting line up, saw Monica partner Darcy at centre back and Ava S starting at right back. The game started quickly for the Belles as the pacey Eliza slammed a shot against the cross bar but she did the opening goal. Oliwia

The Belles travelled to CHESS as the rain poured just before kick off. The Belles were missing Lola C, Evie, Ava H, Ava S, Iris, Scarlet and Ava L. Despite this we still had a squad of 12 as Lois and Sydney were available. The game started and it was clear that the pitch condition was going to scupper any flowing football. However the Belles made a great start which nearly saw the opening goal. Elcie saw her shot saved by the goalkeeper then not long after Oliwia also had a s
