Republica 11s

Republica 11s is made up of a rag tag bunch of players who love the sweet blend of football, left wing politics and the thrills of the Sunday League. We play in the 1st Division of the West Riding Country Women's Football League. We pride ourselves on being a team that will strive towards playing the best game possible - no matter the score line - whilst ensuring we create a supportive and fun environment on the pitch. Winning league games isn't everything and it's just as much about the team bonding that happens before and after the games (and during our travels all across West Yorkshire for away fixtures too). All fixtures are played at 2pm on Sundays, with our home fixtures being at the Caribbean Cricket Club on Scott Hall Road.

Get in touch if you have some existing experience of football and would like to join our squad this season!

Did You Know?

Republica 11s are part of the English Football pyramid and have played some tough opponents over the years. The most infamous of these was back in 2002, when a solid run in the County Cup saw Republica Leeds United in the quarter final. United, preparing for an FA Cup fourth round tie two weeks later, pulled no punches and fielded a full-strength team for the encounter. Thanks to Irish internationals Michelle Walsh and Caroline Thorpe, as well as Leeds and England legend Sue Smith, the result was a whopping 26-0 to the then-Premier League side. Ouch!

Republica have faced Leeds a number of times since then, each time recording an improved scoreline. With the most recent a 7-0 defeat to Leeds' reserves, surely it's only a matter of time before we see the mother of all upsets?
