The club, which was formed in 1976 and played in the Merseyside League, the North West League, the FA Combination League and the FA Premier League, will have a final send off later this month.

The Saints were giants of the women's game making the prestigious FA Cup Final four times in the 80s, winning it in 1979-80.

Among other honours, they were Merseyside Division 1 Champions for three years running from 1978-80, twice Merseyside Cup Winners and NW League Division 1 Champions.

In recent years they were NW League Premier Division winners in 2004-05.

The pioneers of the women's game were also the first English Women's team to play in the European Clubs Cup, being losing finalists in 1980-81.

Club founder Chris Slater would like to thank all players, officials and supporters who have contributed to their success over the thirty years.

Also she is inviting all ex-players and officials to a reunion on Saturday 16 September, starting 8pm.

Because of a fire at their Garswood clubhouse, the event will take place at Greenall's Club, Alder Hey Road, which was ironically their first base. Admission is free.
