GILLS LADIES BACK AT PRIESTFIELD

Gills Ladies return to the home of Football in Kent on Sunday August 20 when they take on West Ham United Ladies (2pm).

The Ladies team last played at the club’s home ground in December 2014 but supporters can see them in action once more following a new arrangement with the club.

Manager Jack Wheeler guided his side to the South East Division One title last season and will be hoping a return to Priestfield will spur his squad on even further.

He said: “Having the chance to play at MEMS Priestfield Stadium is an exciting prospect for us. The Chairman has been very supportive of the Ladies side and we hope plenty of fans will come along and get behind the girls.

“They have trained extremely hard, there is a good spirit in the dressing room and we are ready for the season ahead.”

Admission for the game is FREE, however the club kindly asks for a £2 donation which will go to the club’s official charity partner, Take Heart Mercy Mission.

Details regarding future matches will be announced in the coming days and weeks.
