FIXTURE DETAILS
Luton Town v Oxford City
Sharpenhoe Road – Sunday 10th August – 2:00pm
Pre Season Friendly
ONE TO WATCH -Tasha Fensome
Fensome finished the 2024‑25 Eastern Region Women’s Premier Division campaign with an astonishing 32 league goals, helping Luton Town Ladies secure both the league title and the League Cup.
Fensome is the focal point for Luton attacks, unsurprisingly given she scored over a third of goals for the side last season and also managed to win Supporters' Player of the Season and Golden Boot at the club's awards' night last season.
Look for her to combine with emerging midfield talents like Elizabeth Mulvaney and the experienced Shianne Swarres, who excels in pulling defences apart with incisive passing.
THE MANAGER - Fadi Mazloum & Myles Maddix
The pair oversaw Luton's promotion into the FA Women's National League, the fourth tier of Women's football. They also claimed a cup victory last season as they won the Bedfordshire County Cup.
The pair guided the side to 14 consecutive victories last season and took them on an FA Cup run.
Mazloum began as a UEFA B‑licensed coach, managing Stevenage Women FC in the 2021‑22 Eastern Region Women’s League, winning the Hertfordshire County Cup in 2022.
He joined Luton as manager in December 2023 and promoted Maddix to co-manager in January 2024.
