Thanks to a great servant
I’m going to miss Lee Camp because he’s been a great servant to the club over the years and has put in some sensational performances along the way with the majority of those during a difficult period for the club.

This season has been littered with QPR for me and I managed to trump last season’s effort by some way! That of course was mainly due to my involvement with the QPR Ladies team, which did actually lead to me missing more mens games than I had anticipated due to fixture clashes or at times, sheer exhaustion from the amount of travelling I did!
I’m not going to lie…when I first heard that Jim Magilton was in the running for the job I was a little surprised because I thought he was too inexperienced for the role, but then I realised that the last few years have actually whizzed by. He held his job at Ipswich for three seasons, which is a long time for a manager in football but it seems like it was only yesterday that he was appointed there.
I embarked on this journey with the Ladies team almost a year ago now, without really having a clue about what I was letting myself in for and to say it’s been an unbelievable experience still doesn’t do it any justice.
It took us a long time to get going in this match and I felt a bit sorry for the players about that because it wasn’t really their fault. Due to this being a midweek evening game and kicking off at the unusual time of 7:15pm, we had very little time to prepare properly and that showed in the first half hour.
But once we got going we put in another good performance, particularly in the second-half and came away slightly disappointed that we didn’t take all three points.
I was pretty pleased with this performance and result. It may have been a long way from our best, but we always looked like we could go up a gear or two if we really had to and we’ve found a new maturity and desire to keep the ball out of the back of our own net too.
The QPR Ladies completed an amazing season by thumping their closest rivals in Plymouth Argyle to secure the title and promotion to the FA Tesco Premier Women’s Southern Division!
