Considering the increasing popularity of women's football, and given the prominence of women in the Bonfire community, is there a reason why there is no female tournament?

I quote that greatest of philosophers, Jerry Hall.
"A woman should be a cook in the kitchen, a mother in the nursery and a whore in the bedroom".
No mention of football there.

But-I think the teams shoudl be made up of both sexes, I thought that wa sgenerally the excepted view-how about some clarity from the FC, Kevin Miller, what do you think?

Women joined in about three years ago, but this year's problem of Societies playing 'ringers' and getting overly serious about what's meant to be a bit of fun has put paid to that sort of light-hearted fun. Shame.
