  would bring clubs together
• To provide new clubs with a clear structure for
  Development
• Cut travel times for teams
• Provide a multi-divisional competition resulting
  in good quality competition at the appropriate
  standard for different teams

With an investment of funds from Active Surrey
and the Surrey FA, and a large investment of time
from the Womens and Girls Football Development
Officer and a
group of dedicated volunteers,
the vision
became a reality
