What is your memorable achievement in football to date?
This would be my first season in women’s football in 2000-2001 playing for Shrewsbury Town Women’s Youth, where I was also part of the Shropshire Under 16’s schools team that won the National championships where we played at Ewood Park in the final and I ended that memorable season by gaining an England Trial at Under 16 level.
