It has been a memorable week for Yeovil Town Ladies as the Lady Glovers received the news that their application for Tier One status for next season's Women's Super League has been accepted.
The application for their new status was achieved following two months of hard work after receiving notification from the FA of their proposals for changes in the women's game in this country.
To achieve this goal, the club were required to implement plans that would have needed two or three years to introduce in the space of a couple of months. The Lady Glovers are also by far and away the smallest club applying for a licence and without the backing of a Premier League club to aid their cause it makes their achievement seem more remarkable.
However, with a motto that states 'Achieve by Unity' - Yeovil certainly lived up to the virtues of that phrase.
Other recipients of the new licence so far include: Arsenal Ladies, Birmingham City Ladies, Brighton and Hove Albion Ladies, Bristol City Women, Chelsea Ladies, Everton Ladies, Liverpool Ladies, Manchester City Women and Reading Women.
A further two places are available for clubs outside the current WSL structure are currently available and another five are up for grabs in Tier Two, which features: Doncaster Rovers Belles, Durham, Millwall Lionesses, Tottenham Hotspur Ladies, Sheffield Ladies, London Bees and Aston Villa Ladies.
