It was fantastic to meet the coaches and girls from Lancon JFC at Saunders Lane, in Hutton, last Friday in celebration of both International Women’s Day AND #LetGirlsPlay.
#LetGirlsPlay is a campaign to get as many girls playing football on the same day as possible. This year, many girls across the constituency were playing football on Friday 8th March.
It was great to find out more about the club and watch the girls train. They were incredibly passionate and talented, and cheering them on from the sidelines was a lot of fun.
Thank you to all the voluntary coaches who work so hard to keep the girls engaged and so clearly loving it. It’s great seeing girls and women becoming more recognised in sport and to see female football becoming more and more popular.
