⚽ Calling all Oxford Blackbirds Mums, Nans, Aunties and Female Relatives — it’s time to lace up, pull those orange‑and‑black socks high, and kick off something truly special! ⚽On 11th April 2026, we’re hosting our very own Oxford Blackbirds Mums (and other female relatives) Sponsored Tournament — a day where fun, fundraising and fierce female footwork all play in the same formation.
And here’s the real top‑bins moment: 10% of all funds raised will be donated to Sobell House in honour of the incredible Pearl Wellington. Pearl wasn’t just part of our story — she helped write it, driving the creation of the first ever Oxford Blackbirds Girls team. Her passion, her energy, and her belief in girls’ football still echo across every pitch we play on. Let’s honour her legacy the best way we know how — by getting stuck in, showing heart, and playing for something bigger than ourselves.
Whether you’re more Kelly Smith clinical, Lucy Bronze solid, Marta magical, Alex Scott composed, or Sam Kerr unstoppable — or even if your footballing CV currently reads “professional snack‑provider” — this is your moment to shine.
No trials. No pressure. No VAR (we promise).
Just pure vibes, big laughs, and a brilliant way to raise funds for your child’s team.
🧡 All abilities welcome — from total beginners to seasoned sideline tacticians.
🖤 Expect goals, giggles, and the occasional mum‑powered meg.
🧡 Bring your boots, your bravery, and your best “Team Mum” spirit.
Let’s show the kids that the Blackbirds’ orange‑and‑black magic runs in the family. After all… even Ada Hegerberg had a first kick‑about once upon a time.
Save the date, get match‑fit (or match‑optimistic), and get ready to make Pearl proud.
