The U17 Women's World Cup has started in New Zealand. England were completely dominant in their opening fixture and ran out easy 3-0 winners against Brazil. In the England starting line up was Jessica Holbrook who used to be a member of the Old Stockport Centre of Excellence and played against our U16's last season in the Centre of Excellence programme!!
England's next group games are against Nigeria on the 2nd November and South Korea on the 5th before, hopefully, taking their place in the quarter final line up on the 8th November.
The games are being televised on Eurosport and it is a real shame that there has been so little coverage of it in the media. Maybe they will pay more attention when the girls progress in the tournament. One thing for sure is that if they continue to produce such high quality performances then they have the potential to go a long, long way.
Come on England!
