IMG (Intra Mural Games) League
CULF's IMG league has expanded massively over the last year. It now consists of eight teams, who play 7-a-side matches every Wednesday at Talybont 3G. Most of the girls who play IMG also attend Devs, although this isn't a requirement. IMG allows for fun and friendly competition, and offers anyone who may have not played much football before a chance to compete and practice.
SOCIALS -
Every Wednesday afternoon/evening
CULF girls go hard! Our Wednesdays are always memorable, so get your thinking caps on because our effort, creativity and themes never disappoint. We are lucky enough to have a sponsorship with the TAF (@thetafcusu) where we host our weekly Wednesday socials. This partnership also gets us queue jump wristbands making us first in and for some of the girls last out of YOLO nights.
CHARITY -
CULF also has a significant focus on raising money for chosen charities through several fun events and fundraising challenges. Over the last year, this has included: running 12 half marathons, pub quizzes and football tournaments. Whilst we have an allocated charity sec, anyone can put forward ideas and get involved.
SPONSORS -
Cardiff University Ladies Football Club is proud to welcome The Taf as our official sponsor! @thetafcusu provide us with queue jump and free entry into the SU on a Wednesday night and reserve a space for us to hold pre-drinks as well as other social events too such as the Christmas dinner and our sober socials!

VARSITY
Every year in the spring term, Cardiff play Swansea across a wide range of sports. The day of competition is held alternately at Cardiff, then Swansea and it is a highlight of the year for CULF.
It was an unfortunate loss for CULF this year, with Swansea winning on penalties after a well balanced match. We are already looking forward to next years match, with every faith in our girls to win on home turf in 2025!
REFUNDS
Cardiff Uni Ladies football will give a full membership refund if:
A member has sustained an injury within a month of applying for their membership, which inhibits them to train or play matches.
A member changes their mind about their membership 1 week after they pay. After this week, they will not be eligible for a refund.
If a member ‘drops out’ of Cardiff University, their refund will be determined by how far they are into the year. The club’s president will decide this.
Similarly, if a member sustains an injury, inhibiting them to take part in training or matches, their refund will be determined by how far they are into the year. The club’s president will also decide this.
Other than this, members are not eligible for a refund on their membership. The club president at the time will deal with the incident and judge it accordingly.
