Premier League
Champions play like the Champions they are
Over recent
months women’s football has received a lot of negative press mainly due to
England’s poor performance at the European Championships in July and there
doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel due to a decline in girls
wanting to play football.
However it
seems that the remarkable achievement of the under-14’s becoming Premier League
Champions last May has inspired many girls to don their football boots.The under-15 side started their season on Friday, which included several of the Premier League winning side who have stepped up to the next age group. The entire team played like Premier League champions with their heads held high, they put in a great performance and could have easily scored eight. Instead they settled for two which saw them start their season brightly with a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Hollie Massey and Zoe Tweats.
Keep up the
good work girls!
Staying with
women’s football, I was very pleased to hear that Manchester United midfielder
Hollie Massey has yet again been selected in a select squad of 24 for the
national side, after impressing for the Reds. She will attend a 2 week training
camp at St. George’s Park before taking on Wales. St George’s Park is fast becoming
her second home! As a reward for the call-up she got to meet Manchester United
defender Nemanja Vidic where she received tips about playing football at the
highest level, something that Massey is very capable of achieving. Hollie admitted
she felt inspired to emulate the Old Trafford hero. “It was great meeting Vidic. He made us realise how important it is to
make the most out of this opportunity and to put everything into it.” She
is also very excited about pulling on the famous Three Lions shirt. We wish her
all the best!
