It’s extremely heartening to hear that the England women’s football team has done so well and are now through to the final of the European Championships, the first time they have got this far since the Championship started in 1984. Congratulations and all the very best for the final on Thursday, to be played in the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.
On a personal note, I’m pleased to see women’s football doing well, which is, I think, beginning to put it on the map, albeit still only on the periphery. Hopefully a win on Thursday will raise the status on women’s foorball in England and encourage more girls and young women to take up the sport.
