Lionesses are eager to keep the momentum going

ENGLAND captain Steph Houghton says the team are relishing the chance to play in front of their home fans in November for the first time since the World Cup.

Mark Sampson’s bronze medallists are set to take on Bosnia & Herzegovina at Ashton Gate in a Euro 2017 qualifier on November 29.

And though there is a Women’s Super League season to complete before that date, Houghton says she is already looking forward to the occasion.

“The team can’t wait to play in England once again in front of our home fans,” said the 27-yearold.

“The support we received from home during the World Cup was amazing and really helped push us on and perform how we did.

“We want to continue building the momentum throughout the Euro qualifying campaign and hope that as many fans as possible come out to support us.”

Tickets for the game are priced £5 for adults and £2.50 for children. A family ticket (two adults and two children) is available at £10.
