Lionesses roar

WHAT a match! What a team!

After a tense game, england’s women footballers finally ended 56 years of hurt without a major football trophy with a sensational victory in yesterday’s euro 2022 final. And against our old foe Germany.

What brilliant role models these remarkable young women are. They have united the nation this past month in pride and admiration with their dazzling talent and sense of fair play.

Huge credit too must go to the Lionesses’ admirable coach sarina Wiegman for the way she has organised her side.

We must hope schools now play their part and get more girls involved in the game.

This was a historic victory for women’s sport – let us hope it turns out to be the springboard for even greater success.
