Women’s football on the rise in Wales With just a day to go before Wales face Estonia in Wrexham, Wales football bosses revealed that the female game has grown by 50% since 2016. The FAW Trust reports that a record 8,600 women and girls are now signed up to football clubs in Wales.

The announcement comes as the FAW Trust is gearing up to expand its Huddle programme. Launched last year, Huddle is designed for 5-12 year olds and aims to bridge the gap and support the transition between school and club football.

Focusing on fun and friendship, around 450 girls took part in its sessions in 2019. With an expected 20 new sites coming on board in April, that figure is set to double.

Caroline Spanton – recently appointed Interim CEO of the FAW Trust – says: “Research tells us that girls are more likely to be less confident than boys when joining a sports club.

“So Huddle is designed to give girls the opportunity to develop their skills and their confidence in a fun and sociable environment with their friends.”

Spanton is also keen to stress the contribution of the entire football family across Wales in the growth of the game: “We’re really pleased with the progress to date and it is a huge testament to the work of coaches, clubs, volunteers, leagues and all our other partners who are providing more and more opportunities for women and girls every year.

“To reach our target, we know we need to do things differently which is why we are taking new approaches.”

A number of Wales’ women internationals have thrown their support behind the game. Wales and Liverpool defender Rhiannon Roberts says: “The growth in the number of women and girls playing football is great news for the country. Not only will it help inspire players of the future at the elite level but it also helps improve the health and wellbeing of people in Wales.

“I recently visited Huddle events in Penrhyn Bay and Buckley and it was great seeing so many young girls enjoying playing football with their friends in such an inclusive and fun environment.”

As well as the Huddle initiative, the FAW Trust has several programmes in place in order to achieve the ambitious goal of 20,000 registered female players by 2024. These include football session with Rainbows Brownies and Guides as well as a secondary school programme which will launch in June 2020.

England’s glory as Chelsea lift Cup Chelsea 2 (England 9,90) Arsenal 1 (Williamson 85) att: 6,743; at Nottingham Forest FC Beth England scored an injury time winner as a resilient Chelsea side won the FA Women's Continental League Cup for the first time against Arsenal in a thrilling Final at the City Ground.

The victory completes a full set of major trophies for the Blues and keeps them in line for a potential 'treble' this season, but they needed to work hard under severe pressure from the Gunners during the second half with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger in outstanding form.

Chelsea were the quicker side out of the blocks early on and it took a good save from Manuela Zinsberger to deny Guro Reiten after she had raced into the area from Sam Kerr's pass.

Barely a minute later, a deep cross into the area from Jonna Andersson was headed back across goal by Reiten, the Arsenal defence were unable to clear and England reacted quickest to hook the ball inside the far post for the opening goal.

The Gunners were inches away from equalising straight away as a Katie McCabe cross was met by Louise Quinn whose header was clawed away by Berger. The Chelsea keeper produced another fine save after Vivianne Miedema cut in from the goal line to produce a firm drive on target.

Chelsea hit back with England hitting the side netting with a header after losing her marker in the area, whilst Caitlin Foord drilled a shot inches wide on the stroke of half time following good work by Miedema.

The pace of the game in the first half had been frenetic and it showed little signs of slowing after the break, with Reiten the first to produce an effort on goal which flew narrowly over.

Arsenal started to seize the initiative and piled forward in search of an equaliser.

McCabe saw a shot deflected wide following a free kick and moments later, Miedema won possession on the edge of the area before driving the ball just past the post.

Jordan Nobbs shot wide from the edge of the area and the excellent Berger was again called into action as she tipped a Miedema header past the post.

Berger then produced her best save to keep out Miedema with five minutes remaining as she looked destined to score after controlling a ball into the area by Foord before being denied at point blank range. From the resulting corner though, Leah Williamson's initial header was blocked and the defender coolly finished the rebound from five yards to level the scores.

It looked as though the momentum was now with Arsenal but Chelsea rallied from the setback and produced a sting in the tail with extra time looming.

As the game went into injury time, Kerr chased a long ball forward down the right and managed to keep possession under pressure, before feeding Maren Mjelde who skipped a challenge in the area before squaring across goal for an unmarked England to make no mistake at the far post.

England second best in opener United States 2 (Press 53, Lloyd 55) England 0 England’s defence of the SheBelieves Cup got off to a disappointing start as they were beaten 2-0 by the United States in Orlando.

The two goals came in a three minute spell early in the second half but in truth, England were second best in virtually all areas of the pitch and despite a good performance from goalkeeper Carly Telford, defeat to the world champions is their sixth in nine matches.

With star defender Lucy Bronze missing the tournament through injury, Leah Williamson was drafted into the right back position and Lauren Hemp was handed a first start, whilst in-form striker Beth England surprisingly started on the bench.

The USA produced the first opportunity as Lindsey Horan broke into the area but Telford came to her rescue with a smothering save. The movement and runs of the USA strikers and attacking midfielders constantly caused problems for the England defence, particularly winger Tobin Heath who gave them a torrid time all evening.

England’s best moments came during the first half, Jill Scott glancing a header just over from a flick on by Hemp and Ellen White having a shot saved by Alyssa Naeher.

However, the majority of chances were at the other end with Telford needing to save a long range effort from Rose Lavelle and Carli Lloyd passed up a great opportunity when she shot straight at Telford after being set up by Heath.

The deadlock was broken eight minutes into the second half, in spectacular style.

After England conceded possession, Lloyd found Christen Press 25 yards from goal, where she was not closed down and she curled a superb shot inside the far corner of the net, giving Telford no chance.

Before England could recover, they found themselves two behind. Lavelle chipped a neat pass over the England defence for Lloyd, whose movement had once again not been countered and she confidently buried her shot past Telford.

The USA continued to dominate the match and got the ball in the net for a third time but the effort from Julie Ertz - who was making her 100th appearance for her country - was ruled out for offside. Megan Rapinoe had started on the bench but came on just after the hour, she had an opportunity from a free kick with fourteen minutes remaining but fired her shot over.

Beth England was finally given her chance twelve minutes from time and shot over with virtually her first touch of the ball, but it was a fleeting moment for her side on a night when they were comfortably beaten.

The other match in the tournament saw debutants Spain win 3-1 against Japan, Lucia Garcia scoring twice and Alexia Putellas adding the other, with Mana Iwabuchi replying.

England are next in action on Sunday when they take on Japan at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey (7pm GMT kick off).

Alyssa Naeher, Kelley O’Hara, Abby Dahlkemper, Becky Sauerbrunn, Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle (sub Samantha Mewis 70mins), Julie Ertz, Lindsey Horan, Tobin Heath (sub Lynn Williams 70mins), Carli Lloyd (sub Jessica McDonald 90mins), Christen Press (sub Megan Rapinoe 62mins).

Steph helps launch ‘Pledge of Positivity’ The Football Association has launched the ‘Pledge of Positivity’ which asks parents and spectators involved in under-18s grassroots football to commit to creating a more positive environment at matches across the country.

A recent survey conducted by The FA and Nielsen found 88% of over 1,000 grassroots participants cite parents as a driver of disrespect in grassroots football.

To have an impact on this off-pitch behaviour, The FA has launched the Pledge of Positivity, encouraging those on the sidelines to support all players involved and respect referees, coaches and other spectators. The Pledge is based on The FA’s RESPECT behavioural code of conduct which seeks to improve behavioural standards in football.

England captains Steph Houghton and Harry Kane are the first two people to make the Pledge of Positivity, encouraging others to follow suit at www.TheFA.com/Pledge The two skippers also penned a joint letter to parents and spectators, which was painted into the touchlines at their childhood clubs; Harry Kane’s Ridgeway Rovers, Essex and Steph Houghton’s Boldon Girls, South Shields.

The letter highlights the importance of positive support and the role it played in their own footballing development, from the grassroots game all the way to Wembley. To watch the full launch video involving Houghton and Kane, click here.

England men’s captain Harry Kane, a father of two, said: “As parents and spectators, it is our job to make sure that children enjoy playing football. The pitch should be a place of support and encouragement.

“Youngsters should never feel pressure or intimidation from the sidelines, so I’m delighted to add my name to the Pledge of Positivity and I’d like to encourage as many people as possible to do the same.”

Lionesses captain Steph Houghton added: “Positivity is essential in football. It’s important to create an environment where everyone enjoys playing. There are small things you can do on the touchline – like applauding good play from both teams – that has a big impact on young players.”

The FA’s Chief Executive, Mark Bullingham said: “Having coached grass roots football for the last five years, I’ve seen first hand the huge impact that parents on the sidelines can have on players from both a positive and negative point of view.

“It’s no surprise that kids play better in a positive environment and our research has confirmed this impacts 90% of players. It’s crucial that we create an atmosphere where players are encouraged rather than abused, for their enjoyment of football as well as their mental health. I urge others to join me in making this pledge and showing their support for kids’ football.”

The FA’s Respect campaign was re launched ahead of the 2018-19 season [having been originally launched in the 2008-09 season] with a new mantra of ‘We Only Do Positive’.

As a result, The FA has seen positivity in grass roots football rise with 88% of tracked U12-U18s matches being played in a positive environment, a 2% increase from the previous season. The FA hope that the Pledge of Positivity will ensure that number continues to rise.

Final beckons for Abbots Abingdon Town 2 Abbey Rangers 1 Abingdon Town claimed a place in the Southern Region League Chairman's Cup Final with a hard fought 2-1 victory over visitors Abbey Rangers.

Two early strikes gave Town an advantage which they nearly added to on several occasions but Abbey fought hard throughout and set up a nervous finish for the hosts with an 85th minute penalty.

The Abbots are top of the Division One table, unbeaten and with a commanding lead, and they started with confidence, making light of tricky conditions with a strong breeze blowing across the pitch. Skipper Isi Meade set up the opening goal with a run down the left and low cross which found Sara Comley who drove the ball wide of Abbey keeper Natalie Jones on 12 minutes.

Charlotte Comley wins a header against Lesley Owen Another similar attack led to a prolonged (www.jamesprickett.co.uk). scramble in the Abbey area on 21 minutes.

Jones made a fine save, two further efforts were blocked by defenders before Zoe Barnes fired in the second through a crowd of players.

The visitors responded well to this double setback, creating their first spell of sustained pressure midway through the half. Megan McGarvey had a low shot cleared off the line then Georgia Mudd had a strike well saved by home keeper Emily Murphy.

Meade struck a post with a fierce drive for Town before the break but the advantage remained at two. Substitute Rachel Johnson set up Abbey's first chance on the restart but Rebecca Burtenshaw's shot was held by Murphy.

The Abbots continued to create more and better chances but Jones made fine saves from Barnes and Meade. The post then denied Meade a second time before Sara Comley rattled the bar with a close range header after a good run and cross by Sophie Tatford on 69 minutes.

Unable to land the killer blow, Town were always liable to encounter a late Abbey rally. It was Johnson who struck with a well taken penalty after her dangerous corner had led to an infringement in the area with 5 minutes of normal time left. Town were then grateful to keeper Murphy for a fine double save on 87 minutes as Abbey pressed for a late leveller.

In the end, after that late scare, the Abbots saw out additional time fairly comfortably for a good win. Formed in 2018, the club have made rapid strides and look set for an exciting end to their second season with promotion and a Chairman's Cup to aim for.

Martha nets two on debut Scotland 3 (Thomas 22, 72, Emslie 77) Ukraine 0 Scotland recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Ukraine in their first match of the Pinatar Cup with Martha Thomas scoring two on her debut. The West Ham striker hit the net in both halves with Claire Emslie notching Scotland's third ahead of Saturday's match against Iceland.

Caroline Weir donned the captain’s armband for the first time with Martha Thomas also making her long awaited debut for Scotland.

In their first encounter since 2008, Scotland started well with Emslie being denied after seven minutes on the clock. Jane Ross then tested the Ukraine goalkeeper after 19 minutes but failed to find the corner of the goal.

With 22 minutes gone, Martha Thomas scored on her Scotland debut. Born in Dorest, the West Ham United striker qualifies for her country through her mother. Thomas ran on to a long ball and took advantage of a defensive error to slot home and give her side the lead.

Ukraine were close to equalising just moments later but Jenna Fife was on hand to touch the ball round the post.

With more than half an hour played Thomas had a chance to make it two but saw her thundering strike blocked by the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Hannah Godfrey nodded wide at the back post. At the other end, the Tottenham Hotspur defender was resolute and made a decisive block as Ukraine looked threatening.

After 72 minutes, Martha Thomas made it two, taking a great first touch to take the ball by the defender before running clean through on goal and finishing low into the net.

Just five minutes later Claire Emslie made it three. The Orlando Pride winger was composed in front of goal following a pinpoint cross and she was able to pass calmly into the net and round off the win.

After the game, Martha Thomas told www.scottishfa.co.uk: "I'm really pleased to play and score the two goals. I wasn't expecting it but I'm really happy to contribute to a win on my first cap.

"All of my teammates have been really welcoming this week so to come in and not feel out of place was a good feeling. It's nice to be here.

"We kept the ball well at times and tried to finish the chances when they came.

"I'm half Scottish and the whole of my Mum's side of the family is very Scottish so I'm very proud to put on the shirt and represent the country.

"My Mum, Dad and Gran came to the game which was really nice and I was so happy to have them in the crowd for my debut.

"I want to play for Scotland as much as possible and do everything I can to get us to major tournaments.

"This team is fantastic and we have the talent to do well at major tournaments so I'm looking forward to the future." cotland will next play Iceland on Saturday, who defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 in the other game. Kick off is at 2pm (UK time) at the Pinatar Arena.

We talk to‌..

Sammy Hallsworth (Cheltenham Town)

Cheltenham Town finally returned to league action last Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Swindon Town, which kept them firmly in the Division One South West promotion race.

We talked to Cheltenham defender Sammy Hallsworth, who was both pleased and relieved to be playing once again, and is setting her sights on a top three finish at the very least:

SH: I don’t think frustrating covers it! It's always difficult not playing games especially when we were on a good run before this weather stopped all football.

SH: The game was not as close as it was reported, as a back four we weren't overly challenged, although Swindon made it hard for us to find the back of the net as expected.

SH: Every game is useful, we use the mistakes we make to learn and develop. Although the game was one sided we used it as an opportunity to further improve our back line and build play.

SH: There have been many chops and changes at the back this season with players coming in and out. We are very happy with our record so far and challenge ourselves to as many clean sheets as possible.

SH: It's going to be tough, but I think both teams are desperate to get back at it. I think like most teams this season, Maidenhead are going to come out strong and try and give us a game.

SH: I feel we definitely have to aim high, there are still points there for us to take. Whilst both Southampton teams have been strong, I do think we can still give them a run for their money.

SH: At the start of the season we set goals to finish as high in the table as possible. We all know it's possible to come in the top three - we just have to get the results.

SH: I think the club is taking the correct steps to move higher we are still very much in a development phase. The hope is that we can build to challenge in those higher leagues.

Our thanks to Sammy!

Sparks fly into BUCS Final Solent University reached their first ever national BUCS final with a thrilling 5-3 extra time Trophy semi final win over University of Nottingham at a rain swept Test Park.

After away wins over St Mary's, Brighton and Oxford Brookes, the Sparks had home advantage in their bid to make history.

A rollercoaster first half saw Solent lead twice through a Bekah Tonks free kick and a Kayleigh Tonks penalty, only to trail 2-3 at the break to a very slick Nottingham side.

Chloe Ball set up the 72nd minute equaliser for Kayleigh Tonks but then Solent were pressed back with keeper Lauren Sayler making a couple of stunning late saves to take the match to extra time.

Nottingham continued to dominate with fluent team play but the home defence stood firm. On 109 minutes Emma Whitlock broke the stalemate with a superb free kick delivered from wide left, curling a lofted shot into the top right corner for Solent's fourth.

Kayleigh Tonks completed her hat-trick on 115 minutes, outpacing the defence before turning the ball home after her initial effort was blocked.

Nottingham hit the frame of the goal no less than three times in the second period of extra time but their luck was out and it was Solent who could celebrate a place in the Trophy final against either Birmingham or Teesside at the end of the month after a display full of guts, determination and skill.

Zoe Tynan tournament Liverpool Feds LFC are inviting applications for this year’s Zoe Tynan tournament, which is set to take place on Saturday 17th May. The third Zoe Tynan tournament was held on May 18th 2019 and yet again it was a great success. 32 girls teams enjoyed matches playing in either a Cup or plate competition. Trophies were presented to the finalists and players of the tournament and medals were 2020 awarded to all participants. Money raised on the day through a raffle, tombola and cake sale was donated to two suicide prevention charities ‘If U Care Share’ and Pauls Place. Both charities attended the event to share awareness of a very important message with players, coaches and parents. The event was a magnificent tribute to a special young lady.

Liverpool Feds Chairperson Sue Carmichael says: “Zoe joined Liverpool Feds at 6 years old and it was soon obvious how committed Zoe was to her football. Zoe asked technical and tactical questions beyond her years and was dedicated to improve herself and her team.

“She also juggled her athletics with football….often going off to a race a bit muddy after a match.

“Zoe went to Everton Centre of Excellence with our blessing as we recognised what a talent she was and knew that she need to be at the next level of girls’ football to be recognised. It was such a thrill for our club that Zoe had recognition at an international England level and then went onto play in the Women’s Super League with Everton and Manchester City.

Zoe and her family never forgot her football roots with the Feds and she came back to help coach with our junior teams. Her help, insight and coaching of our younger players is a matter of pride for our club. We thank Alison, Carl and Beth for their support.

“We thank Anna Farrell at the Liverpool County FA, Jericho Lane Hub, friends of Zoe and the Tynan family and of course Liverpool Feds players and staff for making this very special tournament happen.”

Please make a payment of £45 per team (cheque to Liverpool Feds or BACS payment to Liverpool Feds 60 – 01 – 11 43182453 ) and return to 10 Deepfield Road, Waveretree, Liverpool L15 5BX or email to foxtb0905@gmail.com by March 21st 2020.

Player’s ages groups are for the 2019-20 season. Players who have been registered with a Centre of Excellence / Academy team for the 2019-20 season are not eligible to play.
