The women who plundered almost £200,000 from a youth football league have been ordered to repay a fraction of what they took.

Karen Prictor and Margaret Rivers treated the league and as their own 'personal fiefdom' as they found a myriad of ways to steal subs from children's families.

But after years of luxury long haul holidays and high living the authorities can only claw back a fraction of what they stole.

At a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing 57-year-old Prictor, who is serving a four year jail term, was found to have benefitted from her crime to the tune of £160,000.

But despite a work history including jobs at Thames Water, Swindon Borough and Cotswold District councils, a court ruled she only had £25,000 of assets.

Judge Peter Blair QC, sitting at Swindon Crown Court, gave her three months to hand over the cash or face a 13 month jail term in default.

Prictor was treasurer of the North Wiltshire and District Youth and Minor Football League when she set about stealing from the organisation over a five year period.

As well as breaks in Mexico, Florida, New York, Spain and Cornwall, she also spent vast sums on computers, TVs and other technology.

Renovations were also carried out on their home in Beverley, Toothill, with the integral garage being converted into a cinema room.

The bulk of what she must pay comes from equity in the home she shares with husband Kevin, 59, which is still subject to a hefty mortgage.

And despite him still working and the couple also receiving a £38,000 PPI payout the couple also have five figure bank debts.

Margaret Rivers, 55, and her husband 58-year-old husband Andrew, who goes by his middle name Philip, were found to have benefitted from crime by £35,658.

The couple, of Ramleaze Drive, have been given three months to each hand over £6,782.85p or they will have to serve a five month jail term.

Margaret, who founded the league and was its chairman, was jailed for two years and four months for fraud and her husband got a community order for money laundering.

Prictor was jailed after pleading guilty to fraud, possessing criminal property and two counts of forgery between 2009 and 2013.

She also admitted a passport offence after she applied for new travel documents for a trip to Cancun, not revealing the police had the original.

The holiday in the sun was booked for November, four months after she was jailed for her crimes.

As well as regularly pocketing the money she produced false bank statements when an investigation was started.

She then continued to take money from the league after the FA banned her from all football activities by using someone else's name.

Sentencing the two women Judge Blair told them that they treated the league as their own 'personal fiefdom'.

He added: "You used this as a source of money to live a lifestyle beyond your normal employed means."

Kevin Prictor, who works as an electrician, denied possessing criminal property and was acquitted by a jury.
