15 of us from the Girl's U16 Team took a road trip to Southampton on Friday to see England's Women play North Macedonia in a World Cup Qualifier for 2023.
Great atmosphere with a lively crowd accompanied by drums and trumpets singing to Sweet Caroline and Come on England.... All aided by the waving of flags and obligatory Mexican wave.
We were a much stronger team than North Macedonia, even with a key defender missing.
It was good to watch with 40+ attempts on goal and 81% possession by England.
End result: England 8 North Macedonia 0
The night got even better, when a couple of our girls were given an Alex Greenwood shirt, they tweeted a picture - and Greenwood retweeted the post.
A fab night had by all and a great opportunity to inspire our girls that play football.
Looking forward to watching more games next year.
