Girls on the Ball

Founders of Girls on the Ball, Rachel O’Sullivan and Sophie Downey stop by to talk about the FAWSL 2020/21 season, players and teams to watch, a little about the England Women’s National Team.

After last season’s abrupt end (thanks to COVID), the new season kicks off with some changes – most notably all the internationals flooding the league. How will this impact the league and possibly the development of the younger England players? Rachel and Sophie break it all down for us! Do not miss this interview! (36’)
