KEYNSHAM TOWN LADIES 16
Women’s football in Iceland
Welcome back Barts!
Keynsham Town’s record all-time top
scorer, Kerry Bartlett, has re-signed for
the club after a brief spell at Cheltenham
Town Ladies where she scored ten times
in eight games.

The prolific scorer netted a total of 63
goals last season that saw Keynsham
promoted to the FA Women’s National
League Southern Premier Division.

Keynsham manager, Barrie Newton,
said: “Barts coming back is the best news we have had all season. We
have found the step up to the Premier a big one, but we are determined
to retain our status and our main problem has been scoring goals. We will
now have a proven goal scorer up front, which will make so much difference.

“All the players were excited by the news and it has given everyone a
boost, as so many of them know exactly how Kerry wants the ball. It will
be great to watch the [Justine] Lorton – Bartlett interplay again. They
were almost telepathic last season.”

On signing, Bartlett commented: “It feels great to be back. I know it won’t
be easy in the Premier, but I’m looking forward to the challenge and
playing with this group of girls again.”
