Garston Ladies FC is a football club for girls and women, based at Bushey Sports Club (formerly known as the Metropolitan Police Sports Club) in Bushey, Hertfordshire. The club was formed in 1996 at Lea Farm School, Watford as Garston Girls FC and has grown rapidly to become the largest female-only club in Hertfordshire. In May 2002, Garston Girls joined forces with Everett Ladies to form Garston Ladies FC. The club was awarded the FA Charter Standard in December 2005 in recognition of its high standards. Garston Ladies has become increasingly successful, winning a number of county cups and league titles. A number of players have gone on to achieve England recognition including former England Under-23's goalkeeper Lauren Davey.

History

Garston Ladies FC has been affiliated to the Hertfordshire FA since the club was formed. The club's junior teams (U18 and below) play in the Hertfordshire Girls Football Partnership League while the senior teams compete in the Beds & Herts County Girls & Women's Football League. For the 2015–2016 season, Garston Ladies re-branded its junior teams with the names of big cats to differentiate between different teams in the same age group.

In January 2013 Garston Ladies FC formed an informal partnership with local boys' youth team Bushey & Oxhey FC.

The 2011–2012 season proved to be the most successful in the club's history. Garston Ladies FC's ten junior teams won thirteen honours between them including three League titles, two League Cups, and two County Cups. The U-10s became the third Garston Ladies team to complete the treble of League, League Cup and County Cup following in the footsteps of the U-13s (2009–2010) and the U-13 Mets (2010–2011).

In the 2012–2013 season, Garston Ladies FC ran ten junior teams and one senior team. The U-10s and the U-11 Mets were the club's most successful teams, winning five trophies between them. The U-11 Mets won the treble for the second year in a row, having won all three competitions at U-10 level in 2011–2012.

During the 2013–2014 season the U-12 Mets became the most successful team in the club's history, winning the treble (league, league cup and county cup) for the third season in a row and completing three seasons of competitive football without losing a game.

The club grew rapidly between 2013 and 2017 increasing from 10 to 27 squads. In the 2018–2019 season Garston Ladies FC ran 23 squads.

On 22 March 2014, Sky Sports News reporter Seb Walke visited Bushey Sports Club to interview Garston Ladies FC coaches, players and parents as part of their focus on grassroots football. The resulting news article was broadcast on Monday 24 March 2014.

On 11 August 2015, Garston Ladies FC were winners of the Audentior Award (Watford Borough Council's Civic Recognition and Award scheme) in the "Mayor's Sporting Achievement" category.
