Club history

Brighton Girls assistant head co-curricular Hannah Lowe added: “We are thrilled to have made this partnership with BHAFC. It works on two levels for us. Firstly, we are really keen as a school to make our facilities available to the children of the city we sit in the heart of. The second is that our own girls love football and there’s a huge swell of interest in it so we are building up opportunities for them to play it. We now have a full football fixture season for years 5 to 8 and football is becoming a main part of our sport provision.”
