Blyth Spartans Ladies F.C.


During the First World War womens' football teams were established and became very popular. Blyth Spartan Ladies F.C. (aka Blyth Spartans Munitionettes) were a successful team, winning the Munitionettes Cup final on 18th May 1918, with players typically working in munitions factories and at the port during the war. The team continued until 1921 when women's football was banned from its grounds by the F.A.
