Not For The First Time, Sefton Girls Picking Up A Trophy At Goodison Park I know what a fantastic experience it’s been for them and one of my aims is to increase the awareness of representative football as it still comes as a surprise to some parents to hear of girls representative teams. I’m extremely proud of all the players I see progresses through representative football and having the opportunity to play a small part in their development, so I was really pleased to have been asked to form part of a new management team at County level this season with the Merseyside Girls U14 & U16 squads. Those familiar with county representative football will understand the levels that the players are playing at and the Merseyside management team has welcomed the opportunity to work with our schools and Regional Talent Clubs, who are doing a great job supporting and developing elite players. There are some fantastic district and county squads around the country who your local schools FA can provide further details on, as can players primary and secondary schools who nominate the players for trials.
