<strong>Fylde</strong> LFC were originally formed<br />

under the name Duke of York in 1971<br />

and were founder members of the<br />

then North West Women's Football<br />

League.<br />

They were renamed in 1977 as<br />

Preston Rangers W.F.C. and, in both<br />

the 1982-83 and 1989-90 seasons,<br />

reached the semi finals of the FA<br />

Women's Cup<br />

In 1997 they became Preston North<br />

End W.F.C. and finished 1997–98 as<br />

champions, winning promotion to the<br />

Northern Combination Women's<br />

Football League.<br />

In 1999 the club was officially<br />

affiliated with Preston North End F.C.<br />

The club won the Northern<br />

Combination Women's Football<br />

League in 2005–06 and were<br />

promoted into the FA Women's<br />

Premier League Northern Division for<br />

the first time.<br />
