Football for all ages! Hi there, It's all happening in the world of women's football. We're half way through the season and at all levels, there have been some unexpected movements in the league tables. (Did you see that Sunderland Ladies beat the almighty Arsenal last week?) We've been watching the comings and goings on Girls in Football and we've noticed that rather excitingly there are more and more postings for younger players. So, we thought we'd pick out a few things of interest to the youngsters as well as the old-timers like us: |
