HISTORY OF EXETER RANGERS L.F.C
Exeter Rangers were formed in 1981 to meet the demands from the younger players in the area who could not get into the now defunct Exeter Ladies team. We played initially in the Devon League and then joined the South West Region Women's Football League.
In 1987 we became the founder members of the Exeter and District League where we won the league and cup double in the 1987/88 and 1989/90 seasons.
In 1990 we rejoined the South West Women's League where, because of our previous success, we were made to join the higher division. We struggled for two seasons in Division One before eventually being relegated at the end of the season to Division Two.
In 1992/93 Exeter Rangers became Division 2 runners up which earned us promotion back to Division 1. Rangers also won the Division 2 Cup by beating Swansea 4-2.
In 1993/94 Rangers started off well. Unfortunately some of the games did not go Rangers way and at the end of the season we found ourselves facing relegation. Fortunately, after the AGM of the South West Region Women's League, it was decided that we could stay up following the departure of Dorchester to the Dorset League and therefore only one team was relegated and one team promoted. Rangers had success by winning the Division 1 Cup by beating Tongwynlais 3-2.
