Beds  Herts Women’s Division Three

Been a trend of recent weeks to bring some bad news on The Round-Up and sadly I have to report the withdrawal of another side from the league with Bedwell Rangers Ladies team no longer listed in the table. I hate seeing the loss of a club but hope everyone involved with Bedwell stays in the game and wish all the best for the future. Still retain a strong youth section so the development of girls football will carry on and continue to benefit the game as a whole.
