Girls Training with an Irish International
The Club is pleased to announce that we are in the process of building a relationship with a top-flight women's football club; Bristol Academy WFC. Our intent is to create a partnership which allows those girls who want to pursue their football through to the highest level an opportunity to access Academy standard facilities, coaches and players.
To start this initiative we have two events lined up. The first is a Club visit to watch Bristol Academy WFC play against Chelsea Ladies in a Nationwide Premier League match. This takes place on Sunday 29th April at The Hand Stadium in Clevedon. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Players will have access to free tickets, parents and non-members will have to pay a small fee (£3 adults, £1 children).
Ticket are available until Saturday 21st April. Ensure you book yours by visiting our event site.
The second event is scheduled to take place on the morning of Saturday 19th May when Bristol Academy's Central Midfielder and First Team coach, Claire Scanlon, will lead a training session for our girls. Claire is a vastly experienced Irish International player, who has played Premier League football for Leeds and Bristol as well as having played professionally in Japan and the US. Claire also hopes to bring along some of Filton College's female football development centre players to help with the session. We are very excited to have someone with so much experience and knowledge to pass on to the girls and suggest all of our girl players make a date in their diaries to attend.
I have provided a few links of interest for those who want some more detail about Claire, Bristol Academy WFC and the Women's Premier League.
Derry Hill United is delighted with this opportunity to create a link with Bristol Academy WFC and hope that you support this initiative in it's fledgling stages by attending both the match and the training session.
