It has not fully sunk in yet for Ross Juniors that the England women’s team won the Euros on Sunday, with many of them lucky enough to be at Wembley Stadium to watch the historic moment in person.
110 members of Ross Juniors were lucky to have tickets for the final which they purchased 12 months ago. At the time they were hoping England would be there, but once the team got past Sweden in the semi final, it was a reality.
The coaches left at 9:15am and they made good time in getting to Barnet for some football pre-Wembley. The u10 girls alongside the u14/15 showcased their skills in competitive matches. The standout match though was the u12’s playing Stotfold in a close game that went to sudden death penalties with their great opponents coming out on top.
Then it was onto Wembley where they met with other club members who had tickets and Tottenham’s, Kerys Harrop.
A Ross Juniors spokesperson said: “The game began, and the rest is history and we were fortunate to see it. The atmosphere was immense, the crowd were rocking and the celebrations carried on all the way home on the coaches.
“What an inspiration the England team were. Many of our young players have their very own superb role models and yesterday will only serve to further the girls footballing aspirations and ambitions.
“We are nearing 200 female members from our girls to our womens teams,and we any wanting to grow it further.
“Great pitches, brilliant social facilties, team building club trips, ex players at Academy’s and representing their countries, links to WSL clubs and players, a complete player pathway from 4 year old to womens team and an even brighter future planned is what we can offer anyone joining our great club.
“Get in touch if interested in playing or coaching. Free taster sessions and a new wildcats programme are being planned as we prepare for the new season.”
