WILL TAKES ON THE GALS

I do like the Windsors, a knockabout series about the Royals and naturally when ever the Royals get involved with football I raise my eyebrows and remember the princes playing football (soccer) for Eton against Charterhouse in days gone by. What else would young lads do when they are bored at home-get a ball, stick one of the servants in goal and have a kickabout on the lawns of Buck House.

As so it is that William, as President of the FA, has been hosting Women's football at his "place (palace)" for a good cause, as will be revealed in this link which has a video below.

It has been Girls' Week and the FA has rolled out a campaign to double participation and attendance at women's football by 2020. Baroness Sue Campbell announced that eight new "High Performance Centres" have been established at Universities around the country giving high quality facilities for improving the ladies' lot.

Centres are at: St Mary's London, Gloucester, Chichester, Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield and Northumbria, covering the country quite nicely. Some universities in bigger cities are sharing the load. Local hubs have been formed and you might find one by delving through the links below.
