In the world of sport, some moments stand out not just because of a final score, but because they mark the beginning of something truly magical and historic. The formation of the first-ever Tristar Ladies Football Team is one of those moments—a powerful step forward, not just for the club, but for the local community, women’s sport, and the future of football itself.
The launch of Tristar’s first ladies’ team is more than the addition of a new squad to an already busy club roster. It’s a symbol of progress, inclusion, and ambition. With this new team, Tristar is sending a clear message: the pitch is for everyone, young, old, experienced and inexperienced.
For many of our players, joining the first Tristar ladies’ team isn’t just about sport—it’s the fulfilment of a long-held dream. Some have returned to the game after time away, some younger team members will see it as a pathway to senior football, others are stepping into competitive football for the very first time. What unites all our ladies is a shared passion, commitment, and a belief that their place on the pitch has been earned and is here to stay. Every single lady that puts on our special club kit is unique and an asset to our team.
Starting a new team comes with challenges—finding cohesion, building chemistry, and defining a playing style—but the women of Tristar are embracing every step of the journey. They’re not just building a team, they’re building a family, a legacy for the next generation of girls who will grow up seeing football as a natural path for them and a clear pathway to get there!
The buzz around the team has been electric. From families and local businesses supporting to coaches and fans, it’s been special. It’s not just about supporting our ladies from the sideline—it’s about recognizing the broader impact this team will have. Tristar Ladies are helping to ignite an interest in women’s football across the city, and inspiring pride in those who’ve long championed the growth of this amazing game.
As the Tristar ladies prepare for their first competitive matches, there’s a clear sense of excitement and some nerves. These ladies are pioneers, setting the standard for what’s possible. Our hope is that this is just the beginning: that Tristar Ladies will grow, flourish, and pave the way for more teams, for our younger generation and more dreams to come true.
The first-ever Tristar Ladies Football Team isn’t just making club history—they’re making herstory and what place is more appropriate than to display this in the amazing FootBALLIN’ Her Way e-magazine!
We want to take this opportunity to thank the NIWFA for helping us with this amazing opportunity. We hope that the footballing journey for all clubs in the NIWFA is one of laughter, fun, celebration, and support for all. We believe that in every pass, every goal, and every cheer from your supporters, there's something greater happening: a powerful reminder that football belongs to everyone, and that when women take the pitch, the whole game changes and anything is possible.

Ladies enjoy every second, the journey goes quick so savour every laugh and memory.

Best wishes for the season ahead
The first Tristar Ladies football team - 2025
