By inspiring fans both at home and abroad, and by committing to provide playing opportunities to girls in every school and club across the country, I am confident that we can do exactly that.”

Phil Neville, England Women’s Head Coach said: "It doesn’t get much bigger than managing your country at a home EURO and to have the opportunity to do so at a stadium that holds so many memories for me is huge. Old Trafford has a special place in my heart, but it is also one of the country’s most iconic football grounds, so today’s announcement is a significant one for the tournament. I’m looking forward to kicking off our WEURO2021 campaign in Manchester and to offering fans across the country the chance to watch the elite women’s game on home turf next summer.”

Staging this illustrious fixture at Old Trafford provides a fantastic occasion to introduce women’s football to a whole new audience and support the global growth of the sport. With the potential opportunity to break the attendance record for an opening match at the UEFA Women’s EURO, this is a match not to be missed.”

Nadine Kessler, UEFA’s Head of Women’s Football said: “This UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 will be ground-breaking from start to finish. To kick-off at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ in Manchester, and to have the final at the iconic Wembley Stadium shows just how far the game has come. This is what women’s football deserves. To play in such stadia is what you strive for - as a player, coach, referee and a fan. I am so happy for everyone who will have the opportunity to experience this. Our goal is to deliver a memorable tournament and inspire the next generation of football-loving girls and boys.

Darts hit the bullseye!

Dartford 5 Ashford Town (Middx) 4 An amazing comeback victory saw Dartford reach their second cup final of the season after a last gasp 5-4 London & South East Regional League Cup semi final win over Ashford Town (Middlesex).

Trailing 0-2, 1-3 then 2-4 with half an hour left, Dartford somehow managed to find the three goals needed to win without needing extra time. Both teams created a host of chances throughout, which made for a thrilling match and a great advert for the league.

Ashley Cheatley made an immediate impact for the visitors, racing clear to score the first before setting the second for Jade Johnson inside the first quarter of an hour. Dartford Jamie-Lee Cartwright with a challenge on Ashley Cheatley (www.jamesprickett.co.uk). recovered from this double setback quickly, halving the arrears on 17 minutes when Rachel Stevens drove the ball home from 12 yards after good work down the left led to a low cross.

The pace rarely dropped in breezy conditions, with chances at both ends. It was an Alissa Down corner which restored Ashford's two goal cushion, an inswinging effort deflected in off a defender on 37 minutes.

Dartford had the second half breeze in their favour and started well with a fine solo goal from Caitlin Hurst, picking her way through the Ashford defence before placing a low shot past keeper Gracie Perkins, who had replaced Lauren Restel at the break.

Ashford were always lively in attack and Lavana Neufville did well to beat the defence on 53 minutes to tee up Cheatley for her second low finish of the day. This simply spurred the home team to greater efforts with the backing of their vocal supporters. A corner was met with a powerful Verity Snow-Burgess header on the hour to give the hosts hope. Within a minute, Emily Read, who otherwise had a fine match, shot wide of an unprotected goal after beating the keeper as Dartford poured on the pressure.

Perkins saved well from Stevens, Shauni Griffiths hit the bar with a fine header and Read was just wide with a far post volley as Dartford dominated but could not find the net. Finally, it was Griffiths who equalised on 86 minutes, timing her run perfectly to meet a free kick with a glancing header .

Ashford found a second wind with their lead now whittled away and home keeper Jade Charlton had to be alert to deny Cheatley her hat-trick and late pressure ending with a snap shot over the bar. Just when it seemed that extra time was inevitable, the home side found a winning goal. A cross from the left led to an almighty scramble in the six yard box and Hurst's foot managed to get the last touch as the ball bobbled around.

The final whistle led to lengthy Dartford celebrations as an LSERL Cup final appearance was added to the Kent FA Cup Final already booked against Aylesford on March 26th. Ashford had contributed hugely to a cup classic in their first season at this level but it was the Darts who made 'double top'.

Coates' squad includes in-form forward Ebony Salmon, who has five goals in the Barclays FA WSL so far this season for Bristol City and Molly Pike, who has impressed for Everton in the top flight.

Arsenal duo Ruby Grant and Mel Filis are also selected with the latter scoring a hat-trick for the Gunners in the FA Women's Continental League Cup late last year and the former doing the same but in the Women's FA Cup last season.

England will face USA first on Wednesday 4th March then Sweden two days later before finishing off with Denmark on Sunday 8th March - with all fixtures to be played at La Manga Club Complex.

We talk to…..

Alex Bailess (AFC Basildon)

AFC Basildon have had an excellent week and their 6-2 victory over Kent Football Utd on Sunday, their third in eight days, leaves them in third place in FAWNL Division One South East.

We talked to Basildon captain Alex Bailess, who insisted that her team are looking to be promoted back to the higher level as soon as possible, and is very excited about the club’s future:

AB: We went into this game off the back of five straight wins so were definitely feeling positive with that momentum behind us. That being said, there were some tired legs from our midweek game against Billericay. We dominated most of the game and worked hard from start to finish. It was a great collective performance with some impressive quality in the final third.

AB: In the last game against Kent, we made it really hard for ourselves and ended up scoring the winner in the 90+ minute. Despite our winning streak, we didn’t go into this game feeling complacent, especially considering Kent had some new signings since our last meeting. We kept pressing to restore our three goal lead and ensure the game was put to bed.

AB: Holly is a very strong athlete and will hunt down players to defend from the top of the pitch, she’s been lethal up top this season. Kelly has great composure, quick feet and is clinical in front of goal. No wonder they’ve had a few hat-tricks between them this season! Kelly is currently the league top scorer so we’re all rooting for her to win Golden Boot!

AB: There’s nothing like winning a local derby to get team spirits high - and we’ve done this not only once, but twice within four days. Billericay beat us in our last two meetings so this victory was well overdue! It’s helped confirm just how far we have come as a team since the start of the season. We have grown not only as players, but as a club as well- the dynamics between staff, first team, development team and under 18s are excellent - we have a One Club approach and this was a fantastic victory for everyone involved!

AB: We’ve already played Cambridge City twice this season - a 4-0 win in the league, and a 7-3 win in the FA Cup. We look to continue our winning streak and maintain our position as third in the league. We know they have quick wingers and can take their chances in front of goal, so will be tough to beat. I wouldn’t mind another four goal lead though...

AB: We are definitely on the hunt for promotion back into the National League South, and have got good momentum behind us with our back-to-back wins. We are positive that we are constantly

developing and the second half of our season has already been off to a great start. We haven’t met Ipswich yet in the league and look forward to competing against their young international players!

AB: Believe it or not, we do aim to keep clean sheets! But if it’s entertainment you want, get down to Canvey Island FC and watch one of our games. As long as we’re scoring more goals than the opposition I’m happy! We’re clinical in front of goal, play some great football and LOVE a big tackle so there’s something for everyone. We could work on our celebrations though...

AB: The club has had a total makeover with the new name, new director of football, new staff and a lot of new players. We had to gel quickly as players and develop trust with each other and the staff. We have done this so well which is a credit to everyone involved. I love this club and know everyone involved feels the same way - both on and off the pitch. I’m excited for what the future holds! COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!

Our thanks to Alex!

Natasha back in Wales squad Wales manager Jayne Ludlow has named a 24-player squad to face Estonia for the women’s side’s first match in Wrexham since 2012.

The squad was announced in a special video by girls involved in the FAW Trust’s Huddle scheme in north Wales. Details around how girls aged 5-12 can get involved in Huddle can be found here.

Winger Natasha Harding - who scored a hat-trick against Israel on the last occasion that Wales played at Wrexham - returns to the squad after missing the goalless draw against Northern Ireland in November with a knee injury. However, Jessica Fishlock remains in the USA to continue her recovery and defender Gemma Evans misses out through injury. The versatile Elise Hughes is also unavailable as she continues recovery for her ACL injury.

Ludlow has opted for a mix of youth and experience for the match on Friday 6th March (7pm kick off). Six players under the age of 20 will look to develop and learn from playing alongside the likes of Sophie Ingle, who is set to win her 99th cap, Loren Dykes and Angharad James.

The Estonia match is key preparation for Ludlow’s side ahead of the second half of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 qualification campaign. Wales currently sit second in Group C with two key home matches against the Faroe Islands and Norway in April.

A return to north Wales for the national side is part of the FAW’s aims to grow the women’s and girls’ game across the country. Rhiannon Roberts and Elise Hughes are two players from the area who have been a key part of the current qualification campaign. Tickets, priced £5 adults and £2 for U16s and 65+, can be purchased via the FAW website (faw.cymru).
