Looking for an Arsenal double this year are Arsene Wenger
and Shelley Kerr, a Scottish ladies international captain and coach to the
Arsenal Ladies team. The Gunners Ladies play in the Ladies FA Cup Final today
at MKDons Stadium against two time winners, Everton. A win will make it a third “male/female double” having
previously achieved this in 1993 and 1998.
Kerr’s team is also hoping to gain a 13th cup final win to add to
their 9 League Championships. Despite all this success, Kerr is resigning from
her post, after this final game, having overseen a terrible start to this season’s Ladies Super
league, where her team find themselves bottom of the league. Top are Birmingham
Ladies and it is good to see the ladies’ game spreading in importance, with
less prestigious towns represented in the official “national leagues”; Chesham,
Keynsham from Bristol, Lewes and Durham. The Ladies game is growing
in stature, especially following our international success in recent years and the adoption of ladies teams by our professional clubs, such as SC Albion (WBA) and Chelsea. ARSENAL WON 2-0!
